Serving the North Side since 1952

Since our founding in 1952, NCR has continuously refined our program initiatives based on community need. Today, NCR is committed to five core programs; comprehensive rental housing counseling, advocacy for people experiencing housing discrimination, wraparound support for immigrants and refugees, and two programs to keep seniors at home, and in their community—case management for at-risk seniors, and home repairs focused on accessibility and safety.

Back in the day, when we were known as the Rogers Park Community Council, we were sharing updates on the agency's work through a community newspaper that we produced called the Rogers Park 2000. Due to the advent of email, online news and high production costs, we ceased the printed paper in 2010. Now, a decade later, we are bringing it back in the form of email, to update our supporters, partners, and fellow community members of what NCR and our subsidiary organization, NCDC, work towards and accomplish.
