Our Team
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
Margaret’s Village is finding innovative solutions and collaborating with others to bring systematic change to Chicago’s south side
The philosophy of Margaret’s Village is to serve our residents with humble compassion using a humanitarian approach to address their challenges. Angela Hicks, executive director, welcomes each new resident with love and compassion by reminding them that “Your current condition is not your conclusion.”
We continually explore ways to achieve better outcomes. For example, locating affordable housing is difficult in Chicago. Our case managers have gone out into the neighborhoods and cultivated relationships with landlords who offer our residents less than market rate rent. Sometimes residents move in together and share expenses and child care.
