partnership highlights
Home at Last! The Polk Bros Foundation Has the Key!
For more than half a century, the Polk Bros furniture and appliance stores in Chicago helped folks to furnish houses they were glad to call home.
Today, The Polk Bros Foundation continues that great tradition as it seeks to improve the quality of life for the people of Chicago. At CCHC, it means that more than 150 men and women who were formerly homeless now have greater opportunities to reach their full potential. The Foundation fuels our ability to provide support services such as case management, employment counseling, and linkages to medical care and mental health services to residents of CCHC’s EnHarmony permanent supportive housing program.
In a way, you might say these residents have been given a whole new set of keys -keys to open all sorts of doors that used to seem permanently closed. Individuals with chronic health conditions find the medical treatment they need, people who have been unemployed for a long time find themselves writing a resume and trying on “interview” suits. Thanks to the Polk Bros Foundation, these men and women are home, and have acquired a very important possession – not just the key to their front door but the key to new possibilities.
Since 2008, The Polk Bros Foundation has made grants totaling $375,000 to CCHC's EnHarmony Program supportive services.
Macy's In The House!
Macy’s has a tradition of giving back to the community and CCHC’s Amani House couldn’t be more delighted. The venerable organization believes in doing the right thing and chose CCHC's Amani House as a recipient of their charitable partnership.
Amani House shelters 270 families annually, offering comprehensive services to women and children impacted by domestic violence and homelessness. Adult clients range in age from 18 to 80. We have served professional women with advanced degrees who have lost everything due to domestic violence or the death of a spouse as well as young mothers recently made homeless through job loss.
Amani House moms and kids will enjoy the crisp freshness of their clothes and bedding made possible by the purchase of a brand-new, high-capacity, washer and dryer, just one of a number of improvements resulting from Macy’s generosity.
Northwestern Memorial Hospital Selects CCHC!
CCHC was awarded a grant by Northwestern Memorial Hospital to support antiretroviral adherence, tobacco cessation and clinical trials education and counseling for patients who come to care at the Clinic on Monterey.
Dr. Babafemi Taiwo, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Infectious Diseases Division, Northwestern University, started a Community HIV Immersion Program last year where he lends expertise to the management of complicated cases at Monterey once a month.
Dr. Gregory Winstead and Dr. Zyra Gordon-Smith, two of CCHC's HIV primary care providers, coordinate the project with Dr. Taiwo and provide extensive community education about HIV. Said Dr. Winstead, "Educational efforts such as these are important to every single person in our community."
