The Solid Ground Supportive Housing Program

-- Chicago’s first bilingual, male-intentional supportive housing program for homeless youth, aged 16-21. Most housing programs for male youth provide housing for only 120 days. LCN’s longer program allows staff to teach and model the skills needed for youth to maintain stable housing and employment, rebuild their self-esteem, address mental health trauma, and prepare them for continuing education.
