Only 20% of households nationally don’t use banks. But almost 50% of residents on Chicago’s south side—and 77% of public housing residents—lack checking and savings accounts. Meanwhile, hundreds of currency exchanges and predatory lenders annually drain millions of dollars from personal income and community capital in this area of the city.

The Partnership for a South Side Community Credit Union came to Crossroads Fund for their first foundation grant with a creative solution and a solid plan to reverse the flow of capital on Chicago’s south side—a 100% community-controlled and operated financial cooperative to provide basic financial services, credit at reasonable interest rates and financial literacy education to low-income people and community organizations.

Since that time, the Partnership has secured over $1 million in fully insured member pledges from community residents and $1.3 million in insured non-member deposits, as well as additional foundation and bank funding. The Partnership now has a main branch office, is interviewing manager candidates, and is selecting a computer system.

This vision for change is taking shape.

They kept the moratorium and anti-death penalty issue in the public eye with a consistent media strategy. Their report, A Broken System at Work: Report on the State of the Death Penalty in Illinois in the Year of the Moratorium, was widely reported on and distributed. The overall work resulted in 8 of the 9 guber- natorial candidates supporting continuation of the moratorium and a shift in public sen- timent, with 70% of Illinois residents currently for the moratorium.

ICADP Executive Director Jane Bohman states, “Crossroads was the first funder of the Illinois Death Penalty Moratorium Project, which evolved into ICADP. Their consistent support and input furthered our growth and made us a more diverse and strategic-think- ing organization. As ICADP continues the work of the Moratorium Project, Crossroads’ support is more vital than ever.” 12 Crossroads Fund 2004

Administration 10% The Partnership to End Homelessness Fundraising 17% Program 73% The Partnership to End Homelessness (PTEH) is attacking the root causes and not just the symptoms by facilitating a shift in local dialogue from managing homelessness to ending homelessness. PTEH is a coalition of 71 housing and service agencies sharing expertise, pooling resources, and creating a unified voice to advocate for an end to home- lessness. As an “activist trade association,” PTEH played a leadership role in the creation of the Chicago Continuum of Care Governing Board which in turn created Getting Housed, Staying Housed, a strategic plan to end homelessness in Chicago in ten years. The plan, including advocacy for more affordable housing and accountability of anti- poverty programs, has been called “visionary” and “cutting-edge” by national leaders in the movement to end homelessness. PTEH is now focusing on the successful imple- mentation of this plan by advocating at the local and state level to strengthen public will and create government buy-in. 2002 Annual Report 19 Thank you!
