Committed to Community: The Resurrection Project

Born in Pilsen more than 35 years ago, The Resurrection Project (TRP) grew from a community’s vision for restored peace, safety and prosperity in the face of neighborhood blight and violence. Since then, TRP has worked alongside residents to build community wealth and strengthen neighborhood assets across Chicago’s Southwest Side.

TRP’s holistic approach nurtures the building blocks of a strong community, helping families find stability, opportunity, and a place of belonging. Under its housing pillar, TRP has supported 2,500 individuals and families in achieving homeownership, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in family wealth. Through its immigrant justice pillar, TRP has directly provided free legal support and Know Your Rights education to more than 100,000 immigrants.

Today, TRP’s impact extends across Chicago and throughout Illinois. As a statewide social impact organization, it has developed and preserved more than $1 billion in community assets such as affordable homes.

“This work is only possible through our deep roots in the community and the partnerships we’ve built over decades.”
