Franciscan Outreach is a nonprofit organization in the individual and family services sector that provides a range of homeless services in Chicago. With six service sites, it offers meals, shelter, case management, and access to health care, mental health counseling, and substance use treatment to adults experiencing homelessness or marginalization, aiming to help them achieve stability and transition to permanent housing. The organization serves a diverse population of neighbors in need, guided by a commitment to dignity, inclusivity, and non-discrimination, regardless of life circumstances or beliefs. Based in Chicago, Illinois, it has a long-standing presence since its founding in 1963, rooted in the Franciscan tradition but operating without requiring religious participation and focusing on creating a safe, supportive community for its guests.
