The Interfaith Housing Center of the Northern Suburbs has produced the following videos, which affirmatively market Chicago's northern suburbs and Interfaith's programs.
The video was debuted September 18, 2008 in honor of Interfaith's 35 years (and counting) of accomplishment. It profiles those assisted by Interfaith's fair housing, Homesharing, foreclosure prevention, and community organizing and advocacy work, with reflections by a founder, Jean R. Cleland.
United We Learn, a north suburban, broad-based grassroots campaign which Interfaith helped organize in 2008 in the wake of a Chicago Public School boycott at New Trier High School, released a documentary film, "The Education They Deserve", highlighting stark inequities in the public schools. Segregated housing inevitably leads to segregated public schools, and separate is not equal. The film was underwritten by a grant from the Sally Mead Hands Foundation to Interfaith, as fiscal agent for United We Learn.
