We can look at homeless statistics and so-called facts to try and figure out any number of reasons why homelessness is experiencing an uptick in Chicago. Yet these explanations can not completely tell the story. Chicago is fortunate to have a number of homeless coalition organizations, veterans programs and services to help people with no where else to go. Sadly, we still see and hear stories of the homeless living on trains, in alleys, and cowering with their families at bus stations.
We are a Chicago social service agency providing permanent supportive housing, as well as linkages to other social services. Our dedicated non-for-profit agency focuses on assisting Chicago area men who are experiencing homelessness change their situation.
Our philosphy is simple: before a person can overcome the obsiticales of mental health issues, addiction or finding employment, obtaining housing ought to come first.
We encourage self-exploration with our clients in a motivational and solution focused way. North Side Housing works hard to provide a community service in Chicago, by connecting people with resources and hopefully a long term place to live. If you have ever thought about volunteer opportunities or contributing to a worth while chairity in Chicago, call our agency and learn how you can help.
