La Casa Norte Takes a Big Step Forward with Project RISE

This year, your support is especially meaningful as we transform the North Hotel in Humboldt Park into a first-of-its-kind, non-congregate shelter for Chicago’s youth. With 43 private rooms, Project RISE will provide a stable, supportive environment where young people can focus on building a brighter future, with access to essential services like life skills training, educational support, and mental health care.

Your generosity is helping us go beyond simply providing shelter—you’re helping to create a true home, a safe space where young people can feel valued and secure. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without supporters like you. We’re building a foundation for change, empowerment, and hope with our partners and community.

Thank you for standing with us and rising to make a lasting difference in the lives of Chicago’s youth.
