The Boulevard of Chicago provides high quality, cost-effective medical respite care, holistic support and housing services to help ill and injured homeless adults break the cycle of homelessness, restore their health and rebuild their lives. Starting Point Upon arrival, Boulevard residents get access to programs and medical services which they could not obtain at a shelter. Physical Health Each resident works with physicians and nursing staff from PCC Wellness at our on-site clinic to develop and implement their individualized care plans. Coaching To assist our residents on the path to self-sufficiency, we help them enroll in the appropriate benefit programs and we provide a variety of health education and life skills classes. Behavioral Health For Boulevard residents who have mental health or substance abuse issues, we provide group and one-on-one sessions on-site, as well as access to more extensive care through our partnership with area hospitals and managed care organizations. Destination Once our residents have completed their medical recovery, we assist them in finding safe, stable housing. On-going Support Leaving The Boulevard does not mean losing access to support. Our Housing & Health Outreach Team regularly supports our most vulnerable former residents, helping them to keep up with the responsibilities of independent living.
