Habitat Hero 2026!
Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity helps raise awareness, supports capacity building, and provides resources to empower Habitat affiliates while they are on the ground making a difference in their local communities.
Save The Dates!
Chicagoland Habitat hosts three events each year to raise funding and visibility for Habitat’s mission in this area: a regional Veterans Build (November 7-8), a black-tie reception through First Look for Charity (February 6, 2026) at the Auto Show, and an annual Habitat Hero Award Dinner (June 9, 2026).
Congratulations to our 2025 Habitat Hero Award recipients!
Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity honored Tony Gambell, Partner, McKinsey & Company, and UL Solutions on June 12th at its tenth annual Habitat Hero Award Dinner, recognizing decades of leadership and commitment working with Habitat in the Chicago area and beyond.
A Breakthrough Partnership for Rural Homeownership
A groundbreaking partnership between USDA, IHDA, and Habitat for Humanity has led to the first successful closing using USDA’s 502 loan product paired with IHDA’s down payment assistance—unlocking new opportunities for affordable homeownership in designated rural communities. This innovative collaboration made it possible for Candace, a single mother seeking stability for her daughter, to purchase a brand-new home built by Will County Habitat for Humanity.
