What Chicago Hyde Park Village does

Chicago Hyde Park Village (CHPV) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2013 and headquartered at 5500 S Woodlawn Avenue in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. The organization operates a membership-based program that helps older adults age in place and remain socially connected, grounded in a "neighbors helping neighbors" model in which members simultaneously serve as volunteers and recipients of services. Core service offerings include transportation to medical appointments and errands, reassuring check-ins, a vetted service-provider referral database, social and exercise programming, and the Tech Savvy Friends digital literacy program. CHPV also spearheaded Hyde Park's designation as Chicago's first dementia-friendly community through Dementia Friendly America, with healthcare partnerships spanning the University of Chicago's Section of Geriatrics & Palliative Medicine and the Memory Center at UChicago Medical Center.

Core offering

Chicago Hyde Park Village is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization that helps older adults in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood age in place. Members pay annual fees and access volunteer-delivered services including transportation to medical appointments, reassuring check-in visits, vetted service provider referrals, technology assistance, and a calendar of social and educational programs. The model is reciprocal: members both give and receive support through committees, volunteer drivers, and visitor programs.

Product overview

Chicago Hyde Park Village operates as a membership-based community organization supporting aging adults to remain independent in their homes. The core offerings include member services (transportation, check-ins, vetted referrals), programs and activities (social events, exercise classes), and member resources (referral database, Caring Neighbors network, directory). The Tech Savvy Friends program provides volunteer-based technology assistance. The organization functions as a single unified service model rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture, with membership tiers providing access to services and community benefits.
