Why:     About The Boulevard:

30 years ago, The Boulevard founders witnessed thousands of people with medical injuries entering shelters across Chicago with nowhere else to go. To break the cycle of homelessness, these individuals needed a place to recover and the opportunity to move on to stable housing. The Boulevard was founded in 1994 to answer this critical need.  Today, The Boulevard is one of the original medical respite care facilities in Illinois serving men and women experiencing homelessness with a full range of resources for holistic human healing. Through a continuum of programs and services, we help our clients gain the stability they need to restore their health and rebuild their lives.
