Who We Are

The Neighborhood Bridge is a nonprofit that was created in 2023 to help residents on the West Side of Chicago reach their full potential by connecting them to available human services in the area. We are partnering with existing, high-quality providers who deliver a range of services, including but not limited to:

• Primary and mental healthcare

• Housing assistance

• Financial counseling and household budgeting

• Job training

• Computer competency

• Violence Prevention

A particular focus will be on serving families of students from the Austin neighborhood attending our partner schools: St. Catherine-St. Lucy, St. Angela, Chicago Jesuit Academy, Catalyst Circle Rock, and Christ the King College Preparatory School.

We are currently searching for an Executive Director who will interact with schools, connecting school families and other Austin-area residents with the network of service providers active in the area that meets their needs. Learn more about this exciting opportunity here.

We are also fundraising to renovate the former St. Catherine-St. Lucy rectory to serve as a human services center. Learn more about our plans for the center here.
