South Side Help Center

South Side Help Center (SSHC) has been serving Chicago's South Side for over twenty years. Our programs and services have grown and evolved so that we may better serve the needs of our clients and community. However, our reason for being remains the same: to provide people with positive and healthy alternatives.

SSHC is a community-based agency supported by dedicated staff, an active Board of Director's, and loyal volunteers. The Center sprouted from one goal to educate the religious community so that they would be sensitive to the spiritual needs of people dying from HIV/AIDS. Today our reach extends beyond HIV prevention and now includes direct care services and a full range of youth programs. Our staff work aggressively in the community to provide people with positive and healthy alternatives. None of this would have been possible without the leadership of a dedicated Board of Directors and the support that we have received from the community.
