Organizations Filed Purposes: Renaissance Social Services (RSSI) is a unique organization that connects those in need with housing that is safe, quality and affordable. After helping clients attain housing RSSI provides them with comprehensive, flexible, client focused support case management services. The flexible service delivery model gives RSSI clients the opportunity to live on their own with the support they need to be successful. The goal is to empower the individual or family to become as autonomous from RSSI and the social service system as possible.

Develop low-income residential facilities & address needs of individuals in these facilities.

Supportive Housing Outreach Program (SHOT). This program provides permanent supportive housing and wrap-around supportive services for chronically homeless individuals with disabilities. The program utilizes a scattered site housing model and practices Housing First. SHOT serves 111 individuals. Supportive services are delivered by Clinical Case Managers, who provide behavioral healthcare to participants. A visiting nurse provides primary care (wound care, health education, vaccinations) and supported linkage to community-based integrated care providers. The agency also provides employment services that are target to persons with behavioral health issues.

The Housing Stability Program serves homeless and disabled families and individuals, chronically homeless individuals and those at risk of becoming homeless throughout Chicago by helping them attain affordable permanent housing at one of the buildings we serve. We provide them with ongoing supportive case management services which are individualized to meet the needs of the specific individual or family and are focused attaining a greater level of autonomy. Ultimately the goal is to enable the family or person to have the skills necessary to no longer need services from RSSI.To qualify for this program the head of household must be homeless and have a disability. Qualifying disabilities include Mental Health, Physical, HIV/AIDS and/or a Substance Induced Disorder. The disability must be of a long-continued duration, impedes ones ability to live independently, and be of a nature that could be improved by more suitable housing, or be from AIDs or conditions arising from its etiological effects.RSSI's team of case managers provides services which are tailored to meet the needs of the individual or family. Intensity of services is initially very intense when a client enters the program and less so as time passes and the client increases autonomy. Collaboration with the client is key for the process of increasing their self-determination, and goals and services are agreed upon jointly so everyone has a role in the delivery of services.

The Family Support Program provides permanent supportive housing to chronically homeless families where the head of household has a disability. The program utilizes a scattered site model and practices Housing First. FSP serves 45 families and over 120 total individuals. Supportive services are delivered by Clinical Case Managers who provide behavioral healthcare services to participants. A visiting nurse with a pediatric specialty provides at-home primary care services (wound care, health education, vaccinations, etc.) and supported linkage to community-based integrated healthcare. Adults in the program are encouraged to participate in the employment services, which are targeted to persons with behavioral health issues. Children in the program receive a set of educational supports as needed.
