Housing Resources 

Break The System Project is deeply committed to empowering system impacted young men. However BTS serves as a crucial bridge to dependable and safe housing solutions. Individuals who are currently experiencing housing instability, require guidance in understanding and accessing available housing and support services are strongly encouraged to reach out to our team. The simplest first step is to submit a confidential referral through the designated form below. Upon submission, a member of the Break The System Project team will promptly review the information and initiate a follow-up to discuss needs, outline potential pathways, and facilitate direct connections with the most appropriate partners.

We recognize that some individuals may prefer direct engagement. Therefore, for those who wish to pursue resources independently, a comprehensive list of our vetted and trusted housing partners, complete with contact information, is provided further down this page.

Please note: For critical and immediate housing crises (situations demanding urgent intervention) it is imperative to bypass our process and directly dial 311. This direct line connects you to the City of Chicago's comprehensive non-emergency service line, which is equipped to dispatch resources for immediate shelter and crisis management.
