Start Early/EHSN/Children’s Place Association/Children’s Home & Aid

For more than 30 years, Children’s Place Association has partnered with local government agencies, community groups and businesses to build a better tomorrow for Chicago’s most vulnerable children – those challenged by health disparities, poverty, neighborhood violence and racial injustice. Our comprehensive services stabilize vulnerable children and strengthen families so they can build a more promising future.

Children’s Home & Aid are in the places where it’s proven to be the most effective: at home, in the classroom, and in the community. We are an agency that puts families at the center of every decision and believe that communities where we all work, play and live together can be strengthened through data-informed, collaborative and preventative solutions. Our offices are located across Illinois and serve nearly 30,000 children and families each year in over 65 counties, linking them to a network of resources.
