Most homeless shelters in the Chicagoland area have a residency requirement. The only 2 that do not have that requirement are Rockford Rescue Mission in Rockford, IL and Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. IF you are looking for a hotel or hostel in the area, that would be a different story and goggling ones in the area would be your best bet.
Thank you very much really
