About Chi-Town Luv
Born in Chicago. Built for Chicago. Driven by love for every person in our city.
Our Mission
Chi-Town Luv exists to ensure that every Chicagoan — regardless of background, circumstance, or history — has access to safe, stable housing and the support they need to thrive. We serve Veterans, Families, and individuals experiencing homelessness with compassion, dignity, and a relentless commitment to long-term change.
Our Vision
A Chicago where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring — where every person has a safe place to call home and a community that supports their success.
Our Story
Chi-Town Luv was founded 15 years ago by a group of Chicago neighbors who saw their community struggling and decided to act. What started as a weekend street outreach program has grown into a full-service nonprofit serving hundreds of individuals and families each year across the city. Our name reflects our core belief: that love for our neighbors is the foundation of everything we do.
What We Stand For
Dignity
Every person we serve is treated with unconditional respect and worth.
Equity
We actively work to dismantle the systemic barriers that cause homelessness.
Community
We believe in the power of neighbors helping neighbors.
Transparency
We are accountable to the people we serve and the community that supports us.
