Help us serve more people who are struggling with mental illness, domestic violence and substance use. We can make an even bigger impact together.

H.A.S. has been serving the Chicago area’s most vulnerable communities for decades and made meaningful strides in supporting those affected by substance use, mental illness and domestic violence every year. But in 2020-21, COVID caused a tragic level of isolation, vulnerability and healthcare system stress without precedent.

It was devastating and the neighborhoods we serve are still trying to recover. H.A.S. and our dedicated team are up to the task, but critical funding is needed.Your tax-deductible contribution can help us ensure individuals and families from all backgrounds – especially those without insurance or financial stability – can get the help they desperately need and begin a path to recovery.

In 2022-23

Between 2002 and 2022, combined rate of deaths due to alcohol, drugs, and suicide have increased by 142 percent from 74,003 deaths in 2002 to 207,827 deaths in 2022.
In 2022, there were more opioid-related overdose deaths in Chicago (1,397) than homicides and traffic crash fatalities combined. Sixty-five percent of those fatalities were among Non-Latinx Black individuals and 78 percent were men.
There were 135 victims of domestic violence related homicide during calendar year 2023. This represents a 17.4% increase from the 115 individual victims reported for calendar year 2022.
