Strategies

Detect and intervene in potentially violent situations, educate and mobilize communities, and connect high-risk individuals to services; formerly called Chicago CeaseFire

Provide eligible families with low and very low incomes with vouchers to help cover the costs of rental housing; also called Section 8

Facilitate mediation between tenants and landlords to resolve conflict and prevent eviction

Transition families and individuals experiencing homelessness into permanent housing quickly, often with supports such as short-term financial assistance, case management, landlord negotiations, etc.

Provide permanent, basic rental housing with social services available on-site or by referral, usually for families with low incomes, older adults, veterans, or people with disabilities
