Leadership and Innovation<br />
For the last 29 years, Housing Opportunities for Women has been rooted in Rogers Park and dedicated to ending the cycle<br />
of poverty and homelessness for women, children and families across Chicago. During this time, HOW’s leadership has<br />
ushered in a number of advances and innovations including the community integration model of housing development<br />
which builds on the pioneering housing first approach, homelessness prevention strategies and the expansion of affordable<br />
supportive housing in Illinois. Today, we continue to be at the forefront of a national movement, working towards our mission<br />
through three primary strategies including permanent housing, homelessness prevention and career and education services.<br />
In fiscal year <strong>2011</strong>, HOW stabilized 1,491 individuals, including 581 children. “This record-breaking outcome is a reflection of<br />
the success found in working together with our investors and community partners to meet the ever increasing need for our<br />
services” said Britt Shawver, HOW’s Chief Executive Officer.
