Grab your lunch and join us in learning about the project that Family Focus is working on through the Community Transition Investment Grant (CTIG).   

Family Focus invests in strengthening families and their children in Chicago and NE Illinois so they build social capital and achieve upward economic mobility through high-quality innovative programs and services. Their centers are located in the Chicago neighborhoods of Englewood, Lawndale, and Hermosa/Humboldt Park and the nearby communities of Aurora, Cicero, DuPage, Evanston, Highwood/Highland Park, Hyde Park, South Holland and South Shore. They offer programs for parents with young children, grandparents raising grandchildren, families exposed to violence, estranged fathers, and a variety of other services. 

Their CTIG project has focused on an agency-wide Community Needs Assessment and preparation for their COA Accreditation.
