Naomi Shelter

Single Men and Women’s Shelter

There is an ever growing population in Chicago of men and women experiencing homelessness.

Many of these individuals are aging or elderly, suffering from physical and mental illness, and victims of violence and personal tragedy. Veterans are also a substantial portion of the homeless in Chicago.
