This article chronicles the effort of a group of self-helpers and professionals to collaborate with and to develop self-help groups in an impoverished area of an inner-city neighborhood in Chicago. Several self-help groups were started in the target area of the project. In a control area, no increases in self-help activity were found by the end of the study. Unique issues that were encountered in working on this project are highlighted.
