For 40 years, Primo Center has empowered homeless families to become productive, responsible, and independent members of their community.
Holding true to the values of Primo Center’s founder, the late Bishop Quintin Primo, Jr., the organizations’s goal is to create innovative and transformative programming for some of Chicago’s most vulnerable residents: homeless women and children.
Thanks to your generous support, Primo Center is now Chicago’s largest provider of services to homeless families, helping them regain safety, stability and independence.
Our Mission: Empowering families to become productive, responsible, and independent members of their community.
