In 2025, HODC opened four new affordable housing communities across Chicago’s northern suburbs – the most in a single year in our organization’s history. Our 2025 Impact Report, Blueprints for Belonging, tells the story of how we got here and where we are headed.
2025 BY THE NUMBERS
A STORY WORTH TELLING
What Home Really Means
When Delisa Williams found HODC as a single mother with nowhere else to turn, her rent dropped by $900 a month. She has lived in her HODC apartment for 24 years; raising her son, building stability, and eventually joining HODC’s Board of Directors as a resident member.
“Having a rent that is affordable is so important. It helps you to breathe. You can keep your head above water.”
Her story and others like it are what drive HODC’s goal of 1,000 affordable homes by 2030. The blueprint is drawn. Read the full report to see what we built together in 2025.
