Housing Choice Partners Revenue and Competitors

Mission: HCP’s mission is to help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and promote racial and economic diversity in housing. About Us: HCP, Inc. is a private non-profit organization created in 1995 by the Chicago-area fair housing community with an initial mission of promoting racial and economic diversity in the housing choice voucher program in suburban Cook County. Fair housing advocates noted the extreme poverty concentrations and racial segregation developing in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program in southern Cook County, a pattern similar to that in the city, and the group sought a resolution to the problem. The solution was an HCP administered “mobility” program for the Housing Authority of Cook County. HCP operated the program for eight years after which the program was moved in-house. Over 800 families moved to opportunity areas as a result of the program. The organization is poised to move to the next level as a leader in strategies to impact generational poverty through moves to opportunity areas.
