Pathways Home is a continuum of residential and outpatient services designed to address the needs of homeless adults with serious mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders. It is made up of three component programs: Safe Haven, Permanent Housing, and the outpatient program. The Pathways Home Safe Haven is a community housing program designed for participants who find participation in treatment for their mental illness and substance use disorder particularly difficult. Pathways Home Permanent Housing is a community housing program designed for participants that are ready to look, learn, and talk about their illness, even if they have not yet attained consistent psychiatric stability or consistent management of their substance use.

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.
