When individuals from historically marginalized communities are placed at the center, the entire community benefits.
One Roof Chicago's physical space and program design will be driven by attention to equity, allowing all residents to participate as their full selves. We aim to build up to 100 units of housing centered around the needs of LGBTQ+ young adults impacted by housing insecurity, older adults living with HIV, and LGBTQ+ seniors, with a flexible model of care as residents' needs for assistance change.
Our development partner is Chicago-based Full Circle Communities, a non-profit with a pathbreaking model of providing 75% of their economics to the provision of services for residents. Full Circle owns more than 1,100 units in three states, with another 1,000 approved or under construction. Full Circle's goal is to make housing a firm foundation for life.

At all life stages, the LGBTQ+ community may face family rejection and bias from caregivers.
One Roof Chicago cultivates opportunities for people to form meaningful social connections through communities of choice. We facilitate intergenerational social support networks and avenues of cultural exchange and celebration where members at both ends of the age spectrum can thrive: LGBTQ+ older adults can age in safety, comfort, and be accepted and celebrated. LGBTQ+ young adults can have the security of their own space, along with the resources and mentorship to foster and develop their growth.
