What is Expedited Housing Initiative?

This is a program that helps to find housing for participants in the homeless system. The goal of the expedited housing initiative is to remove barriers to housing during the pandemic. This is a collaborative effort between the Chicago Continuum of Care and landlords and other housing agencies in the city of Chicago to house as many people as possible during this crisis.
