Renaissance ends homelessness with a proven approach that blends permanent supportive housing and clinical case management. We agree with Jesse Rabinowitz of the National Homelessness Law Center: “Arresting or ticketing people for sleeping outside makes homelessness worse, wastes taxpayer money and simply does not work. The solution to homelessness is housing and supports, not handcuffs and jails.”

Federal officers swept encampments across DC overnight, leaving many uncertain about where they will find shelter

Our Story

Renaissance Social Services is changing the lives of individuals and families in Chicago, giving them hope and vision for a new life. By supporting communities and supporting the people who live within them with quality affordable housing, behavioral healthcare, outreach, homeless prevention and compassionate support services, we provide the opportunity for stability and wellness.

Renaissance Social Services, Inc.focuses on Chicago’s most vulnerable homeless residents– those who have mental health issues, physical disabilities, and chronic illnesses. Many of our participants have been formerly incarcerated, are dealing with substance use issues, or have been victims of domestic abuse.

Our work provides safety, security, and peace of mind to Chicago’s homeless by helping them locate affordable housing in all parts of the City, and then providing ongoing support though regular meetings with social workers with expertise in addressing homelessness and housing issues. Our staff helps each participant get the services he/she/they needs to address their mental and physical health issues, improve their well being, and thrive.
