Question 2

What is Illinois Department of Human Services looking for?

Accepted Answer

The Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) Homeless Services Division seeks applications from organizations to operate a year-round non-congregate shelter facility, with a preference for a hotel or motel setting, providing supportive services for single adults and couples experiencing unsheltered homelessness, particularly those on the Chicago Transit Authority transit system.  The program is part of DFSS's response to expand access to quality non-congregate shelter, especially during extreme weather advisories and for encampment initiatives, and will provide a safe, accessible place to stay while supporting clients in moving toward stable or permanent housing.
