Greater Chatham, is a joyful, gifted determined state of mind.
A state of mind that can achieve ANYTHING.

The Greater Chatham Initiative was born from a comprehensive plan for economic growth and neighborhood vitality (The Plan). Our mission is to strategically invest (consistent with The Plan) in the Chicago communities of Auburn Gresham, Avalon Park, Chatham, and Greater Grand Crossing so they can re-emerge as communities of opportunity and choice.   Our Community is filled with a wealth of resources.  Please download the list ofcommunity resourcesavailable to you.
