BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS
WITH HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES
People experiencing chronic homelessness have been homeless for a year or more with a disability. They can be difficult to reach and have complex needs.
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) connects them to long-term housing, case management, and supportive services.
Our Housing
In 2017, BEDS opened its flagship Ogden Avenue Supportive Housing facility, which brought 20 PSH units to La Grange. A year later, it acquired the nearby, 13-unit Dover Place. BEDS also leases 100 apartments scattered throughout Southwest Suburban Cook County. These programs include:
Customized Case Management & Services
All PSH clients partner with case managers to set individual goals and regain stability and independence. Clients meet with case managers at least 16 times each month and gain access to services including:
Healthcare
Employment assistance
Donated food and meals
Transportation
Counseling
Benefits application support
After experiencing homelessness for four years, Jonah now has a place to call home.
