The Humboldt Park Portal is a business, civic, arts and community website where residents and others can learn about the Humboldt Park neighborhood, plug into local resources and share the Humboldt Park experience. Created by a coalition of local nonprofits, community organizations and nonprofits, the Portal is one of many digital tools we are building to create a stronger community.

Businesses, residents and local institutions can post news, events, directory listings, videos—information about our neighborhood that is useful and interesting. And it’s all free.

Any business or organization can post a listing on the portal directory. For businesses, it’s a great way to connect with your market – Humboldt Park.  For organizations, it’s a great way to tell the community and the world about your work.
