Hunger and homelessness are one of the fastest growing epidemics affecting the City of Chicago and Cities across America. ASHF has been a pioneering architect and an anchor organization serving and meeting the needs of Chicago’s homeless since 1994. Their integrated network of behavioral healthcare, education, job training, social enterprises and phased housing programs is headquartered in one of Chicago’s most poverty stricken communities known as the North Lawndale community. ASHF houses and feeds three healthy nutritious meals to over 5,000 homeless people including adults, youth, families with children and military veterans, annually.
