NEWS & UPDATES

We are excited to announce that we have broken ground on our new shelter! The trauma-informed facility is expected to open before the end of the year, and will setup residents with privacy, care, and services to heal from the trauma of living outside and transition into long-term, stable housing.

​

Everything in the interior will be new: the walls and floors, a commercial kitchen, HVAC system, laundry room, a large shower/bathroom, and a medical exam room. The non-congregate floor plan will be similar to a college dorm. Two men will live in each of the 35 sleeping rooms, providing much more privacy than the traditional congregate shelter.

​

The shelter will be the first of its kind in Chicago, and is expected to serve 250 men each year. Be sure to check out our Shelter Report and Fact Sheet to get all the information about our new shelter!

This project would not have been possible without the strong support of the Rogers Park community and the 49th Ward office, and our partners at Chicago Department of Housing, Chicago Department of Family and Support Services, and Gensler Architects. Thank you!
