Housing Navigation

Housing Navigators help clients overcome the complex barriers that often stand in the way of accessing stable housing.

Who We Serve

​We serve both single men and women, aged 18 or older,  across Chicago, with a recent expansion including a newly renovated, state-of-the-art men’s shelter in Rogers Park, now home to seventy (70) unhoused men seeking stability and a path forward.

We Provide Specialized Support Services
  • Dedicated free services for justice‑involved individuals to promote successful reentry, reduce recidivism, and strengthen long-term stability.

  • Highly sought art therapy that fosters emotional healing, self-expression, and overall wellness.

Our Impact

People Served FY 2025/26

We served 514 people across our four programs.

293 men have stayed at the Rogers Park, Chicago facility.

The Rogers Park Facility has provided 36,900 nights of shelter and served over 110,000 meals. 

​

Of those served

77, or 30%  had a physical or mental disability, 

37, or 13 % had drug or alcohol abuse disorders when they moved in. 

129  or 44%  received health care services

​​

Outcomes

The average client stay at the shelter is 154 days.  Clients with health or substance abuse challenges require more time to stabilize those conditions and find the most suitable apartments. 

​141 previously homeless clients are securely housed in our Permanent Supportive Housing programs. 

83 clients, an increase of 34% from last year, received assistance through our Housing Navigation program to obtain the necessities for stable housing, like moving expenses, document replacements, rental application fees, etc.
