Chicago House provides supportive services for those affected by HIV and AIDS so that they can stay healthy and housed.
Community Case Management: The most cost-effective approach to homelessness is to keep people from becoming homeless from the start. As early as 1992, Chicago House began providing Community Case Management to people who were becoming increasingly ill with HIV and AIDS, helping them to get the support (such as legal, food, and utility assistance) and benefits (Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security Disability) they needed in order to stay in their homes. Today, Chicago House serves over 150 men, women, and children each year through Community Case Management.

Employment Program: Chicago House's Employment Program is designed to help unemployed adults with HIV secure and retain productive employment so that they do not need to rely solely on subsidized medical care and housing. A four-week training workshop, career counseling, mentorship, and internship opportunities help clients achieve greater self-sufficiency and productivitiy, ultimately leading to successful employment.
