Matthew House is a nonprofit community-based organization that provides, food daytime shelter, permanent supportive housing, and supportive services to men, women, families and children who are experiencing homelessness. The organization is celebrating 30 years of providing homeless service to individuals experiencing or at risk of becoming homeless. Our records continue to demonstrate that proximately 70% or more of the population served by Matthew House are chronically homeless, and at least 50% have been homeless for 5 to 10 years. As a result of observing our population trends, our Executive Director was able to initiate a study completed by the Mayor's office, which confirmed our observation that the face of homelessness in Chicago has changed.
