About

Built for the North Side, by the North Side

A HUD-approved housing counseling agency serving Rogers Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Northside Community Development Corporation creates and preserves affordable, diverse housing opportunities and fosters strong, stable communities on the North Side of Chicago.

From our Rogers Park office, Northside CDC delivers HUD-certified counseling, repair assistance, and homebuyer education to families across Chicago’s North Side. We focus on the practical work of keeping people housed: reaching homeowners before a missed payment turns into a foreclosure, helping renters become buyers, and partnering with employers and lenders who want to invest in our neighborhoods.

What we believe

Housing is the foundation everything else is built on. When families can stay rooted, blocks stay stable; when first-time buyers get a fair shot, neighborhoods grow stronger. We work block by block, family by family.

How we work

  • One-on-one counseling with HUD-certified staff
  • Free workshops in our office and at partner locations
  • Partnerships with lenders, employers, and community organizations
  • Coordination with city, state, and federal housing programs
