Austin HOPE Center

CNI is partnering with Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Stone Community Development Corporation to bring the Austin HOPE Center to life – a three-story, 25,000-square-foot facility that will anchor new opportunities on Chicago’s West Side. Designed as a welcoming and accessible space, the Center will provide neighborhood youth and families with both essential health services and vital community supports.

At the HOPE Center, Lurie Children’s will deliver pediatric primary care, behavioral health services, and family-focused programming in a trusted, community-based setting – helping to close critical gaps in access to quality health care. Stone Community Development Corporation will expand its neighborhood outreach and support services, ensuring residents have a strong network of resources close to home.

In addition to health and social services, the Center will promote financial empowerment. Wintrust Bank will open a full-service branch inside the facility and host workshops on financial literacy, homeownership, and small-business resources, creating pathways for wealth-building and long-term economic stability for Austin families.

Together, these partnerships will make the Austin HOPE Center a hub for health, stability, and opportunity – a place where children can thrive, families can access support, and the community can look toward a stronger, healthier future.
