Partners for Rogers Park
A coalition of community and faith based organizations who have come together to ensure the long-term social and economic well being of the Rogers Park Community. Established in late 2006, the mission of the coalition is to “promote positive community development for current residents through open and inclusive partnerships that fosters a healthy and just Rogers Park.” The overarching goal of the coalition is to strengthen the Rogers Park community through a strategic and progressive planning process, creative and engaging community organizing initiatives and comprehensive community development work.

Supportive Housing Providers Association (SHPA)
A statewide association of non-profit organizations who provide supportive housing - affordable housing, enriched with supportive services - to individuals and families who are homeless and/or have special needs, such as mental illness, substance abuse issues, or other chronic illness, such as HIV/AIDS. SHPA's mission is to strengthen the supportive housing industry, to enable the increased development of supportive housing, and to support non-profit organizations to develop the capacity for providing permanent supportive housing.  Members network with one another, access the latest information, and advocate at the state and federal levels, with the aid of Springfield lobbyists.
