Neighborhood Outreach
Connecting to our community is necessary to support each other and become stronger.
Emergency rental assistance program
Over the course of several weeks, our input workers helped both landlords and tenants submit their application for the City of Chicago Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Our site helped provide technological and language assistance to 100+ local residents.
Chicago Connected
CBCAC is a proud community partner for Chicago Connected. This ground-breaking new program provides Chicago Public Schools students with high-quality and reliable internet service at home at no cost to eligible families.
Parks District Stewardship program
We work in collaboration with the Parks District, The Nature Conservancy and Friends of the Park in order to promote the natural areas in Ping Tom, McKinley and Palmisano Park. Our goal is to have local residents engage with their local park stewardship.
Solidarity Project
The Healing Illinois program provided us the opportunity to create vulnerable spaces for immigrant parents to discuss race and racism in the United States. CBCAC facilitated and hosted a 5 session program and 6 standalone introduction sessions covering topics such as history of Black, Native, Latinx and Chinese Americans, how to address racism with your children, and why stereotypes are harmful.
