Cornerstone Community Outreach (CCO) is an Illinois-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to addressing homelessness in Chicago. Located in the Uptown neighborhood on the north side of Chicago, CCO serves individuals and families throughout the city who are experiencing homelessness. Each program is thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of our residents, offering essential services and a sense of belonging as they work toward independence.

CCO operates four shelters with a transitional-housing model, providing individuals and families experiencing homelessness with a stable and supportive environment they can call home until they secure permanent housing or transition to the next stage of their journey. These shelters offer more than just a safe place to stay—they provide access to critical services that empower residents to rebuild their lives and regain independence.
