They treat their employees horribly. Run like the gestapo. My time there was an absolute nightmare.

For a human rights organization, they do not treat their staff very well. Too bad.

History
Established in 1888
Heartland Alliance was born in 1888, when Chicago became the second city to form a Travelers Aid organization. Newcomers moving to the city to look for work--particularly vulnerable youth and women--were able to visit Travelers Aid service centers around the city's ports and rail stations and receive help with housing, employment and community resettlement.
Changing its name in 1980 to become Travelers and Immigrants Aid, the organization continued to grow. We identified and formed the first responses in the nation to the growing issue of homelessness, including birthing the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, and helped found the AIDS Foundation of Chicago.
Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights was formally adopted as the name of our organization in 1995 to best reflect our growing portfolio of housing, health care, economic security, and legal protections services. The experience, values, lessons, and programs of more than a century are connected in Heartland Alliance.
