About the Northern Illinois Homeless Coalition
Who we are.....
We are a coalition of dedicated volunteers, non-profit agencies, public entities, businesses and faith based organizations who believe that housing is a human right.
We work together to help households that are homeless receive the services they need while following a housing first philosophy.
Housing first means that whatever barriers face a homeless household, permanent housing is the first and most critical need.
While we all work collaboratively, each agency does manage and run their own programs--the Coalition itself does not run any individual programs.
