About us

A practical pathway from crisis to stability

We are building a Chicago citywide housing program grounded in dignity, accountability, and coordinated support.

Mission

Safe, stable, sustainable housing

Mack Community Housing Program helps individuals and families experiencing homelessness or domestic violence achieve safe, stable, sustainable housing through housing assistance, individualized case management, and connections to employment, education, financial literacy, mental-health services, childcare, transportation, legal and community resources.

Our vision

A Chicago where people experiencing homelessness or domestic violence have a clear pathway from crisis to safety, stability, and self-sufficiency.

Founder story

Informed by frontline experience

The founder is a police officer whose frontline experience brought repeated contact with homelessness, domestic violence, and families in crisis. Those encounters revealed how easily people can fall between emergency response and long-term stability.

Mack Community Housing Program grew from the conviction that housing assistance is strongest when paired with consistent case management and practical connections to community resources.

Mack Community Housing Program is an independent nonprofit. No police department sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement is implied.

Governance

Accountable leadership for an emerging organization

The organization is governed by a three-member board. Board member names and officer titles will be published after they are officially confirmed for public release.

Board oversight

Governance, fiduciary stewardship, and alignment with the charitable mission.

Financial stewardship

An outside accountant supports financial oversight and responsible recordkeeping.

Community accountability

Program development informed by local needs, service partners, and participant dignity.

Organizational policies, financial controls, and conflict-of-interest procedures are being prepared for board review.
