Servicios

GSDC has a unique portfolio of economic and community development services that allows it to take a comprehensive approach in service of a multicultural, prosperous and economically vibrant southwest Chicago. Through business services, community development, real estate development, senior housing, and housing counseling as a package, GSDC has a powerful set of tools to advance its mission among a diverse set of stakeholders.   

The long-term community goals GSDC is working towards are increased commerce, fewer commercial vacancies, more jobs, and coordinated plans for large enterprises, such as Amazon’s purchase of Central Steel and the redevelopment of LeClaire Courts. This will create long-term community-level change for the entire low-income service area, generating higher incomes, increased employment rates, more jobs with a living wage, and a better quality of life for residents.
