Our Work

HOW marries the Housing First Model— which recognizes housing as the foremost factor in improving a client’s quality of life— with supportive case management and services to deter against sustained homelessness and housing insecurity.

 

We own and operate 62 units of housing in five buildings across Chicagoland— three in Rogers Park, one in South Shore, and one in Evanston. Our remaining units are scattered across the city.

Our Approach:

Clients typically arrive at HOW with a number of barriers to their success, including disabilities, chronic health conditions, mental illness, addiction, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, and more. Our three-pronged approach allows them to build long-term solutions to the obstacles that have undermined their independence.
