Housing Referrals

SRHAC provides housing referrals and homelessness intervention services to Chicago area individuals city-wide, and assists social service providers and City agencies with information and expertise gained from many years of operating successful intervention programs.

SRHAC is a proud contributor to the City's 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness, and has assists hundreds of individuals annually to secure and maintain permanent housing units.

Social Service Network:

The Social Service Network, made up of dozens of social service agencies offer a wide variety of services available to individuals threatened with homelessness, RO residents,  and SRHAC program participants throughout the city.

SRO Staff Training Program:

SRHAC also provides on-site training to SRO owners & staff. Training focuses on Tenant Relations, Emergency Procedures, Crisis Management and Tenant Retention.

ReFi-ReHab Program:

This program allows SRO owners to take advantage of an opportunity to refinance or rehab their SRO property with the assistance of grants and low-interest loans. In order to qualify, SRO owners must agree to allow social service programs on-site for the tenants of their building.

Early Warning/Emergency Response Program:

This program was created to respond to the growing concern about SRO closures. Closures result from a variety of reasons (condo conversion, demolition, etc.). SRHAC provides emergency relocation assistance to tenants who are forced from their homes as a result of an SRO closing.

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM

SRHAC's Supportive Housing Program, funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, provides permanent supportive housing to homeless and disabled men and women.

Initiated in 1999, this program provides scattered site housing to 120 single men and women throughout the Chicagoland area who are both homeless and disabled. Participants receive rental subsidies, on-site case management support, and other support services.
