HOMELESS VETERANSVeterans represent 25% of the homeless population in the United States, yet less than 10 percent of the U.S. population has served in the military. EdgeAlliance is committed to fighting this injustice and has recently expanded its mission to include services aimed at Chicago's homeless veterans.
ON CAMPUS/IN THE COMMUNITY Alpha House, the newest addition to our campus (pictured below), is a Chicago greystone in the North Lawndale community that will be renovated to provide housing for very low-income and homeless veterans. With special help from "Designs for Dignity," which has selected EdgeAlliance as a recipient of pro-bono design services, Alpha House will open its doors to Veterans in Spring 2012!
The Liberty is a 36-unit studio apartment building, currently in pre-development stages that will provide housing for low-income older adults who are veterans.
