The Permanent Supportive Housing program is designed to provide housing for homeless persons with disabilities in scattered site units in the Evanston community which will enable the individuals to remain successfully housed in the community. 

Those accepted must be homeless, must have a disabling condition that interferes with some aspects of daily living and self sufficiency (eligibility for SSI is not required), and must have some cash income either from benefits or employment or some combination.  Living units are furnished with a combination of new and used items. Group and individual sessions and activities are planned. Participants are able to access Hilda’s Place Health Services, if needed, and are assisted in accessing community resources.  Rent/program fee of no more than 30% of individual’s income is charged.  Preference is given to Evanston residents or those with a strong connection or history with Evanston.
