CITY: The Place



CITY's campus will:

  • Consist of a 7.5 acre campus in Chicago's North Lawndale community
  • Be located at Fillmore Street and Independence Boulevard
  • Include a Therapeutic Youth Home, a space specifically designed to advance the healing of young people severely traumatized by violence and its many effects
  • House UCAN's program center and headquarters
  • Include significant green space to be used by both UCAN and the community
  • Provide an opportunity to partner with west side organizations to address the significant needs of the community
  • Promote the revitalization of a large, vacant area, which will positively affect North Lawndale's job creation
  • Create approximately 426 temporary (new and retained) construction jobs onsite during campus development
  • Maximize the participation of minority and women-owned businesses (M/WBEs) during construction.  Further, we have committed to award a minimum of 50% of the professional services contracts to M/WBE firms.
