Renaissance Social Services, Inc. (Renaissance) is a leader in Chicago’s response to homelessness, providing a range of proven solutions including prevention, outreach, rapid re-housing, permanent supportive housing, behavioral health care, and clinical case management.

 

Renaissance’s team members work in collaboration with unhoused and vulnerable individuals and families to improve their housing stability, health outcomes, and quality of life.

Renaissance was established in 1993 through a partnership with The Renaissance Companies to provide supportive services to residents living in low-income housing developments and assist them in achieving greater stability. What began at one building has grown to become a citywide network of housing, health care and social services, uplifting more than 3,800 people in 2022.
