The mission

What this organization describes

Fighting for the human right to housing since 1980

Chicago Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) is the only non-profit in Illinois solely dedicated to advocating for and with homeless people, including families, students, youth, ex-offenders, and low-wage workers. We advocate for a shelter safety net, affordable housing, fair wage jobs, access to quality public schools, healthcare and human services. Our HomeWorks campaign partners with Chicago family housing providers to advocate new housing resources for homeless families and organizes homeless parents to push for strong school services. Regular outreach at 35 shelter and street programs reaches 7,500 youth and adults yearly. A State Network organizes in 14 communities outside Chicago, focused on Aurora, Rockford, Waukegan, and Will County. A Speakers Bureau reaches a yearly audience of 4,000 and organizes 250+ students to advocate with CCH. The Law Project and its Youth Futures mobile legal aid clinic handle 500 cases a year, about 90% on behalf of homeless students or youth.
