My Nonprofit Reviews

Now entering my third year on the Board at Renaissance, I am continually impressed by how the organization comes up with new and creative ways to successfully address homelessness and its multi-faceted causes and consequences in Chicago. And the financial impact our programming has on the community, our Social Return on Investment value, speaks for itself.

The pandemic has underscored the immeasurable value of the emergency financial assistance we provide through our Homeless Prevention Program to individuals and families one paycheck or unexpected bill away from homelessness. And the pandemic, moreover, has shone a spotlight on the dire need for mental health services in our communities. With our newest program, the Living Room, located in the Austin neighborhood, Renaissance is once again at the forefront, providing mental health crisis respite for those in need.

Renaissance is an incredible organization, top to bottom.
