Blackhawk Manor
Blackhawk Manor
Blackhawk Manor (4959 W. Medill Avenue, Chicago), a fully renovated building in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, comprises 6 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom units. A family with children lives in one of the two-bedroom units, while the rest of the building is dedicated to senior residents.
History
Prior to H.O.M.E. taking ownership of the building, retired Chicago Public School teacher Helen Zabielski lived with the companionship of her many cats in the empty eight-unit apartment building. Over time, maintenance of the building became a burden.
Helen eventually decided that she would like to use her property to help the older people like herself and decided to donate her building to H.O.M.E. The building was subsequently named Blackhawk Manor to identify it with the park located across the street. We are grateful for Helen's generosity to H.O.M.E., and for the legacy and opportunity, she has created for Chicago's seniors.
