The Building Stable Communities (BSC) rapid re-housing program provides rental assistance and supportive services for single adults and families in their transition from homelessness to permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Participants live throughout Chicago in scattered-site, privately-owned apartments in their community of choice. The program pays a rental subsidy directly to the landlord, and in most cases the lease is in the participant’s name. To help the participants and their families achieve stability and independence, a range of essential, supportive services are provided, including: housing location/inspection, intensive case management, employment case management, clinical services including mental health and substance use counseling, children’s services, and referrals to other services such as education, primary care and legal services. This program serves approximately 280 households per year and includes former “Families Building Community” (FBC) and “Stable Futures” housing programs.
BSC also has two new Programs: “Horizons I and Horizons II” is a new Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) Project that will provide scattered-site units for homeless individuals and families who are Survivors of Domestic Violence and Human trafficking. Referrals are received from the Coordinated Entry System through the City of Chicago.
