SOUTH SIDE HEALTHY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION INVESTS NEARLY $1 MILLION IN COMMUNITY RESOURCES
Nutritious food, transportation, housing, jobs, financial assistance and more contribute to a healthier community
Noting that social determinants of health—like nutritious food and a place to call home—play a big role in health and well-being, the South Side Healthy Community Organization (SSHCO) today announced a significant investment in community resources as a key part of building health equity on Chicago’s South Side. Nearly one million dollars has been committed to local organizations that provide nutritious food, employment services, stable housing, emergency financial support and transportation services focused on getting South Side residents to and from medical appointments.
