The White House on Thursday announced a two-year, multiagency federal partnership with Chicago aimed at curbing unsheltered homelessness, placing a federal official within city government to organize response plans and help coordinate sources for additional federal funding.
Chicago was one of six locations selected for the “ALL INside” program, an offshoot of President Joe Biden’s December federal strategic plan aimed at reducing homelessness nationally by 25% by 2025.
The new program is focused on finding housing for those who are unsheltered — people who live on the street and in cars, transit and other places not meant for habitation. Also selected to be part of the federal program were Dallas, Los Angeles, the Phoenix metro area, Seattle and the state of California.
