We at Children’s Place Association know that you want to be involved and support organizations that can show the positive impact they’ve had on the lives of others.

Since 1991, we have served Chicago-area Children & Parents Struggling with Health Issues & Poverty. Many of our children have gone on to lead rich, satisfying lives, and are even compelled to support us in doing our work.

We track objective measures for the work we do. We research the best practices for interventions–combining those with onsite experience, ethics and client preferences to guide the delivery of our services. Then, we use methods to evaluate our effectiveness and the outcome for our clients. By collecting data*, we’re able to monitor and improve our performance, the quality and the effectiveness of the services we provide.

Challenges & Research

Children who face the dual challenges of illness and poverty are less likely to grow into accomplished students, successful workers and engaged citizens. The work of Children Place Association is aimed at transforming the future for these children through our focused model of early childhood education, social services, health care and family supports.

Child Poverty in Chicago

Children & Homelessness

  • The Chicago Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) estimates that families make up 40% of Chicago’s homeless population.

  • A 2018 CCH analysis indicated there were 20,799 homeless children in Chicago – 27% of the city’s total.

  • Children who are homeless go hungry at twice the rate of other children, have three times the rate of emotional and behavioral problems and are eight times more likely to repeat a grade.

“Children’s Place is like family to me. They have supported me and my children and helped keep our family strong and united…. I don’t think the staff or supporters will ever fully know how much they have impacted my life.”
Sandra, Former Children’s Place client (Supportive Housing and Early Learning Center); employed at a Fortune 500 company; purchased her first home in 2015
