PCT’s Chicago health program adds Violence Reduction Focus
We are excited to announce a change in priorities for our Chicago Health program. Beginning with our current grant cycle we will add a focus on the public health crisis of gun violence. This crisis is plaguing Chicago with especially devastating effects on young people in areas of the city experiencing racial disparities and long-term disinvestment. This shift furthers our commitment to improving the lives and circumstances of youth in these communities and allows us to join efforts throughout the city to support innovative and effective work that is disrupting the deadly cycle of gun violence and putting the young people directly impacted by it on the path toward a better future.   To learn more about our new 2019 Health Program and Guidelines, visit the Chicago Page.

Stay tuned for Phase Two of our new Health Program Priorities which will be announced in summer 2019 and implemented in 2020

Ending Youth Homelessness
We have expanded our guidelines to allow us to support organizations that are serve this population but do not provide housing.  For more information check out the Chicago Page.
