— MADD Talent Outreach
We provide trauma-informed care, advocacy, and resources for individuals and families impacted by violent crime.You are not alone.

Compassionate, culturally responsive support.
Crisis intervention to long-term healing.
Empowering survivors through advocacy.
Chicago's West & South Side communities.
Our mission is to be a hub of hope, resources, connection, and opportunity for individuals and families facing life's challenges. We cultivate a growing network of partnerships with organizations locally and nationwide, connecting people to the support they need no matter what they're facing.
Beyond meeting immediate needs like housing, food, and clothing, we create programs and meaningful experiences that foster healing, purpose, personal growth, and independence.
We exist to help break the cycles that have limited individuals and families, transforming the trajectory of lives in ways that extend from one generation to the next. By offering our clients experiences beyond the environments they come from, we help hard work become the tool that carries them from surviving to living the life of their dreams.
Healing hearts. Building futures. Changing lives.
Our goal is to build a multi-state network of nonprofit partners who can extend support beyond what any one organization can offer alone — providing young adults, and anyone ready for change, with access to housing, food, and community, while creating pathways for them to discover and develop their talents in dance, basketball, football, entrepreneurship, singing, acting, and beyond.
Together, we secure and coordinate shared funding to sustain this work for the long term, putting in place effective, lasting measures that break the chains and end generational cycles rather than offer temporary relief.
Above all, we are committed to guiding and mentoring others as they walk into the life God has created for them to live.

— Transitional Housing Program
Support after violence. Hope for tomorrow.
MADD Talent Outreach offers transitional housing and social services for victims of violent crime across Chicago's west and south sides and nearby suburbs.
We operate a scattered-site housing model serving people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or fleeing unsafe conditions — survivors of trauma, violence, or displacement, willing to engage in case management, with income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
MissionTo restore stability, dignity, and opportunity through safe housing, community connection, and comprehensive wraparound supports that address the unique challenges faced by victims of crime.
VisionTo empower victims to become independent survivors, living free from the fear of violence.
We support adults — and, when appropriate, their dependent children — whose housing needs arise from or contribute to their victimization.
Chicago's west and south sides, plus nearby suburban areas.
