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.
