At the heart of Erie Neighborhood House are people and families; it is because of them that the organization has withstood the test of time. The Erie House mission is to promote a just and inclusive society by strengthening low-income, immigrant families. To achieve this, Erie House focuses on five main programmatic areas that meet the holistic needs of the community:

Adult Education and Training
Children and Youth
Community Resources and Empowerment
Legal Services
Mental Health and Community Wellness

Erie Neighborhood House is deeply committed to the Little Village community and first began programming in the neighborhood in 2004. Currently, Erie House serves hundreds of Little Village families annually.

Present

Erie House serves hundreds of Little Village families annually in local schools and at a rented location. Erie House has continued to grow its service capacity in the community despite limited space. The current location is no longer suitable for the programmatic needs of the organization. Space limitations impact the function and capacity of their programs, and limit offerings and dosage.

Vision

To address this, Erie House is embarking on an exciting Capital Campaign to build a community hub for families and youth in the Little Village neighborhood. The new, 18,000 SQFT, multi-level center will be located just a few blocks from the current location.

Multiple Classrooms
Half-Court Gym
Youth Center/Media Lounge Library & READs Lab
Playground & Garden
Roof Top
Group Therapy Rooms
Commercial Kitchen
Large Multipurpose Community Space
Exterior Courtyard
Adequate Office Space for Staff
Multiple Terrases Connected to Programming Spaces

Future:

Erie House programs available on-site will include adult education, afterschool programs, family advocacy, health & wellness, legal services, mental health, public benefit navigation, and youth literacy.

7,000 individuals will be served on-site annually, representing an increase of 2,000 individuals served each year.

Capital Campaign Goal

$14,000,000
