Fighting Homelessness and Preserving
the SRO
as a Vital Housing Resource
|
Since its inception in
1993, SRHAC has successfully provided homelessness intervention assistance
and supportive permanent housing for thousands of homeless men and women.
The mission of SRHAC is
to assist single Chicago residents threatened with homelessness and to
promote the viability of single-room occupancy (SRO) buildings as a vital
low-income housing resource.
We fulfill this
mission by: (1) Coordinating the efforts of agency providers, government
services, and SRO operators; (2) Placing needy individuals into SRO
housing; and (3) Providing case management supportive services to help
formerly homeless individuals stay permanently housed. |
|
Through SRHAC
initiatives, many special- needs tenants in private SRO housing have been
provided life-changing services. These include job and housing counseling,
self-sufficiency skills, assistance with housing placement, and special
rent-subsidy programs.
Our website is for the purpose of
making SRHAC more accessible for area residents, and for all the agencies
and governmental offices that are involved with the SRO community. We
welcome your to our site, and encourage individuals and agencies to call or
E-mail us for more information.
