What we do

Homelessness is caused by a complicated set of factors, from the critical shortage of affordable housing and living wage jobs to our society's lack of care for people experiencing homelessness.

To address this complexity, CCH employs policy experts, development specialists, community organizers and legal advocates. This wide range of expertise enables us to take the fight to end homelessness wherever it needs to be fought, from the streets of Chicago to the halls of local, state and federal government.
