Youth Liaiason at Holsten Human Capital Development, NFP - Chicago, Illinois, United States
Holsten Human Capital Development, NFP (HHCD) is a nonprofit, charitable organization with the mission to strengthen families living in affordable, mixed-income and subsidized housing by expanding their access to viable resources that promote self- sufficiency, wellness and stability through workforce development, community building and resident services. Since its inception, Holsten Human Capital Development has guided over 600 eligible CHA residents through the screening and selection process for new housing. We provide various supportive services and empowerment activities prior to move-in and assistance with stabilization services after move-in. Realizing that there is more to creating healthy communities than just placing a family in a new unit, HHCD networks with area providers to build collaborative partnerships. Such networking has allowed us to expand services through leveraged resources including employment training and placement services, health and wellness screenings, financial awareness education, youth development programs and a host of informational and educational workshops to build an individual's personal knowledge base and skills. HHCD currently provides services at the Hilliard Apartments, Lawndale Apartments, North Town Village, Parkside of Old Town, Whistler Crossing Apartments, Wilson Yard Apartments, Lawson House Life Development Center, and our CHA FamilyWorks Office.
