Our Mission
Building community infrastructure so Chicago residents can participate locally today. Shared equity, collective investment, and community voting are planned.
Our Vision
Chicago is a city of neighborhoods. From Rogers Park to Roseland, each of the 77 community areas has its own identity, history, and potential. Yet for too long, the economic tools available to residents have not matched the ambition of these communities. CUHS changes that by designing every area its own shared equity structure — a planned way for residents, businesses, and organizations to participate in neighborhood growth. That equity layer is not live yet.
Six portals are on this site today, one set for each community area. North Lawndale is the area we are launching in. A planned blockchain design comes later and is not live. Charitable programs belong to a separate nonprofit, not to this company. This site does not ask for donations.
Our Journey
The idea started in North Lawndale. The platform is for all 77 community areas.
One of 77
North Lawndale is the launch community. The portals are for all 77 Chicago community areas. An account does not check where you live.
Listed when posted
Projects, products, services, events, opportunities, and housing are on this site. A listing appears when someone posts it.
No checkout yet
Members can RSVP to events. Checkout and funding are not open. A card on this site is not a purchase or a funded project.
Equity is planned
Shared equity is a design. This site does not show a signed agreement, and nothing here is an offer to invest.
No token is live
A token and community governance are designs. They are not live, and no token is circulating.
Our Principles
Five commitments that guide every decision we make.
Community First
Technology serves people, not the other way around. Every feature is designed to strengthen neighborhood bonds and create real economic opportunity.
Inclusive by Design
Accessible to all ages, backgrounds, and technical skill levels. If your grandmother cannot use it, we have not finished building it.
Transparent Economics
When the token layer goes live, every token, transaction, and treasury allocation is designed to be visible to community members. Trust is built through openness.
Local Impact
The portals are for the 77 community areas. Taking part stays in the area where it happens. Investing and token rewards are being designed and are not live.
Progressive Engagement
Start simple and unlock complexity at your own pace. Join for free, participate locally, and grow into leadership roles as you are ready.
How the work is organized
The groups the work is organized around. Most are still being formed.
Governance & Strategy
Community Leadership Council
Planned: people from across Chicago guiding priorities. The council has not been formed yet.
Engineering & Design
Platform Development Team
The people building the website and the apps. Blockchain tools are being designed and are not live.
Engagement & Education
Community Outreach Team
Outreach starts in North Lawndale, with all 77 community areas to follow.
Tokenomics & Financial Design
Economic Advisory Board
A planned review of the token design. No contracts are deployed, and staking and a treasury are not live.
