Studies show that Housing First is an effective and long-term solution to chronic homelessness. It stems from the fact that individuals must have basic needs, such as food and shelter, met before they build stability in other areas of their lives and address the inter-generational effects of chronic homelessness. When a home is paired with skilled and compassionate services, clients can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life. By supporting the Illinois Continuums of Care to expand Scattered-Site Permanent Supportive Housing, IDHSFCS will expand the State’s capacity to move people out of shelters or other places not meant for human habitation, into stable living environments.
