About

Heartland Alliance believes that all of us deserve the opportunity to improve our lives. Because of this 125-year commitment, Heartland Alliance has evolved into an organization that is uniquely far-reaching, holistic, and change-driven. Each year, in Chicago, the Midwest, and around the world, our services help more than one million struggling people secure the most basic of human needs – housing and health care, jobs and justice. Because the causes of poverty, injustice, and lack of opportunity are interrelated and interlocking, our programs are similarly comprehensive and integrated, allowing us to achieve an unusual synergy in meeting our clients’ needs. In addition to direct service, we partner with lawmakers and organizations to shape public policies that fit the needs for everyone, ensuring that even the most vulnerable can realize a brighter future.
