To help individuals and families maintain their housing, our program staff visits them regularly and coordinates the provision of “wrap-around” supportive services to them. Through this approach, tenants have ready access to case management, therapeutic communities, meals, support for recovery from addictions, and access to employment services, healthcare and other needed services. Staff also works with area landlords to identify affordable housing opportunities to match with program participants who have an income.

Inspiration Corporation plays a leading role in the City of Chicago's Rental Housing Support Services Program, which provides rental subsidies and housing retention services to individuals and families who have been homeless for nine months or longer.

“For the most part, being a member of Inspiration Cafe, my overall outlook on life has been enhanced, because now I am in housing so I can confidently look at things without the fear of having to move.”
