Emergency Shelter
Transforming Lives, One Night at a Time
Although men make up the majority of people experiencing homelessness, less than a quarter of Chicago’s shelter beds are available to single men. Our new shelter in Rogers Park aims to bridge this gap by providing critical services that help men transition to long-term housing.

Our New Shelter is Now Open!
​​We are incredibly excited about our new shelter, which has the capacity to provide emergency housing and supportive services to 70 men 365 days a year. The trauma-informed design and supportive services combine to support men in their healing journey and connect to long term affordable housing, so they can leave homelessness behind for good.

North Side Housing Successfully Transitions Crossroads Hotel to the Phoenix Foundation
​
In May, North Side Housing and Supportive Services (NSHSS) successfully transitioned the management of our 50-bed men’s shelter at the Crossroads hotel to the Phoenix Foundation. Phoenix is currently operating a large homeless shelter in other rooms at the same hotel. Our 41 homeless clients who lived there were able to remain in the rooms they currently occupy, avoiding the trauma of moving to another shelter. The Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) originated and approved this transition.
