Celebrating Over 25 Years of creating affordable housing for underserved populations

IHDC’s mission is to develop long term affordable housing for low-income, underserved populations in collaboration with local communities. As a nonprofit 501(c)3, IHDC develops high-quality, financially and environmentally sustainable, affordable housing for low-income individuals and families with supportive services as a foundational strategy.

In its 25 year history, IHDC has created 16 affordable housing developments that ranged in size from 15 to 135 units. Six of the developments were renovations, while ten were new construction. In total, IHDC has generated 768 permanent supportive housing units and 75 transitional units. Although to date most properties have been in the Chicago metropolitan area, IHDC’s mission is not restricted by geography.

While the day-to-day operations of IHDC typically revolve around land acquisition, zoning changes; applying for grants, loans, and permits; the PRIMARY focus and ultimate goal is to provide clean, affordable and stable HOUSING for LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS and FAMILIES.
