Lincoln Park Community Services

Permanent supportive housing - the permanent supportive housing program at lpcs represents a pivotal initiative within our suite of services, offering permanent supportive housing specifically tailored for 17 individuals living with disabilities. Through the program, we provide a foundation for these individuals to not only live independently but to thrive within their communities, marking a significant step forward in their journey towards stability and self-reliance. In addition to the program, we extend our housing support to 20 more individuals through project based units located at the sedgwick old town site. Annually, this enables us to offer permanent supportive and affordable housing to a total of 37 individuals, many of whom have successfully transitioned from the organization's interim housing community. This holistic approach underscores our dedication to creating lasting solutions for those in need, facilitating a seamless transition from temporary to permanent housing and fostering an environment where every individual has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
