For many families in the Chicago area, finding a permanent place to live can be a real struggle. Such is the case for Alicia, her partner and her six children ages 1 to 14. Since May 2023, the family says they have been living in their mini-van.
affordable housing is one of the biggest challenges in Chicago, according to the Chicago Homeless CoalitionAlicia said she understands her family is not the only one facing housing insecurities and appreciates any help provided.
Aside from housing, Alicia said her priority is also to get her children enrolled in school. Without an address, she did not know how to navigate that process. CPS reported that as of April 2023, at least 16,844 students identify as STLS, or students in temporary living situations. Students enrolled in the program have access to numerous resources through the program, which Alicia and her children can enroll in.
