Last Wednesday, All Chicago’s Nicole Bahena, VP of Community Partnerships, joined a powerful discussion panel at the Philanthropic Roundtable, hosted by Chicago Funders Together to End Homelessness in partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the City of Chicago. The event highlighted the collaboration across all levels of government and showcased the impactful work of the ALL INside effort in Chicago, led by Michele Smith, along with key initiatives addressing unsheltered homelessness led by the Chicago CoC. It was an honor to engage in insightful conversations with leaders like Deputy Assistant Secretary Jemine Bryon, Jeff Olivet from the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), and Chief Sendy Soto. Together, we’re driving solutions to end homelessness in our city. #EndHomelessness #CommunityPartnerships #AllChicago #ALLINside

Nearly one-third of Americans have a criminal record, and more than 50,000 of the people released from jail or prison every year have nowhere to go but the streets or shelters. To end homelessness, we must close the justice system's revolving door to and from it. This new blog focuses on local and federal efforts to do just that. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, for instance, 97% of the people helped by the Center for Housing Solutions, Inc. have maintained housing in the first year after exiting jail, and 90% have not had any new criminal charges. Learn how.

USICH just launched a new blog series on local and federal efforts to prevent homelessness long before it starts. The first focuses on youth and on the foster-care system, which nearly 1/3 of youth experiencing homelessness have been in. For instance, President Biden asked Congress to guarantee a housing voucher for every youth aging out of foster care. And at the local level, Ventura County, California, prioritized this population for transitional housing with integrated support services, resulting in more than 90% of those helped remaining housed one year later.
