This document outlines a blueprint to implement Chicago's collaborative plan to end homelessness.
The proposal focuses on several key guiding principles: increase prevention activities; reduce the use of shelters through consolidating three types of shelters (i.e. emergency/overnight, transitional and second stage) into Interim Housing where "Housing First" approach will be used to rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families; increase permanent housing resources through housing subsidies and new construction; and, place those who are chronically homeless in permanent supportive housing.
