Housing Programs

Chicago House opens the door to opportunities most of our clients have never had: a permanent home; a place to learn and practice the techniques of everyday living; and a community of professionals and peers who provide dignity, encouragement and hope. Our housing programs include:

• The Supportive Living Program, which provides a "first step" to individuals who come to us directly from the streets or the shelter system
• The Independent Living Program for those who are able to live independently, but still need access to services
• The Family Support Program for families with dependent children
• The Gaining Ground and scattered-site housing programs, which provide rent subsidies to enable people to live in the community
