Connections for the Homeless is a non-profit organization based in Evanston, Illinois, focused on ending homelessness in its community. For nearly four decades it has provided eviction prevention, shelter, and housing services to about 4,000 people in north suburban Cook County, supplemented by an advocacy and community organizing program aimed at addressing root causes. COVID-19 accelerated both the depth of its services and the organizational infrastructure. Recent developments include the late-2023 acquisition of Margarita Inn to expand shelter capacity and the early-2024 launch of a medical respite program, with additional expansion through a hotel asset after Evanston City Council approval.
