SRO OUTREACH
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.
