Housing Services
After securing housing, LIF's referred clinical teams extend vital support and counseling services to foster stability and ensure the maintenance of housing. The program closely monitors and guides clients one-on-one, emphasizing self-sufficiency and the ultimate goal of maintaining permanent housing. In a collaborative effort with local churches and organizations, LIF strives to combat and ultimately eradicate homelessness.
They provide a comprehensive range of support services, including eviction prevention, emergency aid, transitional housing, and access to permanent, affordable housing. LIF's commitment extends to homeless individuals of all demographics, including youth and families with children. Their unwavering dedication persists until these individuals achieve self-sufficiency, underscoring their steadfast resolve to end homelessness in the community.
Life Impacters Foundation's Housing Readiness Program was born out of a pressing need driven by the scarcity of affordable housing in Chicago's Cook County. This program represents a beacon of hope for individuals ready to take the crucial step towards escaping homelessness. It equips them with the necessary skills and resources to become housing-ready, offering valuable referrals and placement assistance.

Housing Support for Veterans
Assistance in securing housing for homeless veterans and their families can be obtained through various federal programs, such as those administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the VA Supportive Housing Program. The Veterans Affairs Department (VA) extends its resources not only for housing but also for education, healthcare, rehabilitation, and disability services, catering to the needs of all veterans.
​
Veterans facing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless can seek aid by contacting the VA call center at 1-877-424-3838, where trained VA specialists are available seven days a week to provide assistance.
The VA actively supports community organizations dedicated to aiding homeless veterans by issuing grants.
