Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation is a member based, nonprofit community development corporation working for the redevelopment of communities on the northwest side of Chicago by and for the low and moderate-income people who live in these areas.

In all of our endeavors, we are committed to the principles of honesty, openness, democratic process, education, involvement and empowerment of community residents' self-worth, self-respect and pride.
