At frst hey I can do this n soon as come in the staff put me in a room with filthy roommate!! And then they put me out fr really no reason after they lied n said they would fix situations n talk to me!! I had very bad experience n here I was homeless fr 15 yrs in Chicago n now I know y ppl choose to sleep outside like I did versus a shelter!!! N cause they put me out in days time instead of giving me time to adjust they were bogus

As a not-so-long-ago Graduate from Lincoln Park C.S., I can tell you that if you're serious about making changes in your life for the better, look no further. But you have to stay focused. Peace 😁

Questions & Answers

Would they allow to live there while I look for work and save up for deposit and rent?

Big U Mazon | Sep 21, 2020
Rebecca Stornes | Sep 21, 2020

Yes! They really want people to have some source of income so that you can be on a savings program you can't stay there unless you follow the rules and save up your money towards housing, so if you don't have a job, they will most definitely help you find one some kind of way. One of the best ways to stay there is if you join a job training program, maybe you can try Cara Chicago and get a job with their help, they helped me! 🙂👍🏾

Is there a waitlist? How long is the wait. The person has been homeless for a year.

Mildred Munoz | Sep 21, 2020
Jasmine Hunt | Sep 21, 2020

There was a wait list when I applied. The wait can be awhile depending on when a person exits the program. You would go to a church and fill out a paper application. Keep calling every week to inquire about a bed that is available. https://lpcsonline.org/our-programs/ Our Programs - LPCS Chicago - Lincoln Park Community ...

It doesn't matter what color you are. If your serious about changing your life they can make it happen and support you! It's all up to you!!! If your serious about the program they meet at St. Paul's church over on Orchard and Fullerton. Be there by 1:00. There program runs from 1:30- 5:30. You can do laundry , take shower, talk w/ a case manager and they have dinner. It's the #1 shelter in Chicago! I know because i stayed there and i am now in my own place! God bless

Why is Linda Gibson still working here?

Omni_Ouros_ Bouros | Sep 22, 2018
Omni_Ouros_ Bouros | Sep 22, 2018

Just with the harassment and abuse in endured from her she should have been fired. She's older than dirt, so she should have retired. Given one or the other, why is she still there?
