Partner Agencies

Partner agencies are instrumental to the Emergency Fund’s homelessness prevention model, and we would not be here today without our dedicated partners.  These community-based social service agencies are located all over the Chicagoland area. They work with the Emergency Fund to support and assist our communities by distributing our funds to the people who need them the most.

Interested in becoming a partner?
The Emergency Fund takes a wide variety of factors into account when assessing potential partners, which can be found by downloading the PDF below. Organizations interested in becoming an Emergency Fund partner should review the criteria before expressing interest in forming a partnership. If they feel they do qualify, they should send a letter of interest and description of their services (annual reports, newsletters, brochures, etc.) to Kathleen Molnar, Senior Program Director.
 
Decisions about partnerships are typically made in December, with a planned January 1 start date.
