Located in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, Cornerstone Community Outreach has been committed to helping people find home with dignity and respect since 1989. More than just a safe place to sleep and a meal, we embrace a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional case working services. Through partnerships with local hospitals and neighborhood agencies we provide on-site medical care, access mental health services, job training and enrichment programs such as urban gardening, art and music programs. Today, we welcome families of all shapes and sizes, single adults, as well as host a weekly food pantry for neighbors struggling with food insecurity.
.
We need YOUR help to continue to provide these necessary services.

Two days ago, I was joined by community as we celebrated a landmark@Moment for our city - The ribbon cutting for Haven on Lincoln, a shelter for the unhoused with wraparound onsite services and individual units for those who need them. It is one of the honor of my life to be able to make this vision come to fruition for our unhoused neighbors in this moment and going forward. It is the legacy of a lifetime, and we have so much more work to do. Thank you SO much for electing me to be the Alder and allowing me the opportunity to help create the Chicago we all believe in! Many thanks to all involved from our 40th Ward staff and neighbors to the city departments!
We have been deeply touched to experience the vast amount of support we received from our community members at the ribbon cutting for the opening of The Haven on May 7th.
This is just the beginning. Join us as we continue on our journey of expanding dignifying care access for the people of Chicago.
"Today isn’t just about opening a building. It’s about opening a door for people who, too often, feel like every other door in life has closed on them. This works takes people who are willing to invest in the mission. So if what you see here today moves you, I’d invite you to become part of it.
Whether that’s a one-time gift, a monthly commitment, volunteering, or simply helping us tell the story, every bit of support directly helps us serve people who need hope and stability right now. And right now, we have 37 rooms to be made ready!" - Andrew Winter, Executive Director
A former motel in the 40th ward is now the site of The Haven on Lincoln.
This sustainable, trauma-informed non-congregate shelter will provide 37 private rooms to our neighbors experiencing homelessness, along with healing spaces and wraparound support services. DOH was proud to support this adaptive reuse project with a $14M investment.
Thank you to each and every partner that made The Haven on Lincoln possible.

Sometimes what someone needs most
isn’t everything all at once—
just a place to land.
Through our shelter program, people find safety, rest,
and a way forward—one step at a time.

Hope doesn’t always look loud.
Sometimes it looks like a safe place, a warm meal, and someone saying “you matter.”
That’s the work. Every day.
