Deborah's Place

Deborah's Place started out humbly as an overnight shelter in a church basement. Over the years, the organization evolved as the needs of the population changed. With two program locations and more than 200 units of housing across the city, Deborah's Place is now the largest provider of permanent supportive housing in Chicago exclusively for unacco... mpanied women. The company serves more than 500 women a year with the goal that once a woman comes to Deborah's Place, she will never be homeless again. After 35 years of service, there is still a great need for Deborah's Place. Unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness are still an underserved population that is growing, despite declines in homelessness overall. Without the support of the company's donors, the company could not face the future with hope that the company can continue to make a difference in the lives of women and help them achieve their goals and greater self-determination.
