Northside Community Resources was founded in 1952 as the Rogers Park Community Council (RPCC) when neighbors joined together to stop the private development of the lakefront area. A small, committed group of people banded together and formed a corporation that worked with neighbors to resolve community problems. RPCC's first "win" was to motivate the City of Chicago to purchase a total of 13 street-end beaches. These beach areas were to be used as public lands, as they remain today. In January 1997, the RPCC established a new subsidiary corporation, the Rogers Park Community Development Corporation (RPCDC), which provides services for home foreclosure prevention counseling, first time homebuyer education, and employer assisted housing assistance. Today, NCR's housing, seniors and immigrant programming reflects a diverse client base, with needs that are equally diverse. As our reach now extends beyond the borders of Rogers Park, we renamed the organization Northside Community Resources in March of 2012. Under this new banner, we are re-committed to serving the people of our city's great north-side communities.
