As with previous winters, tents will again serve as the temporary fix to the severe shortage of safe, permanent housing for Chicago’s homeless population.
Within the City of Chicago, there are an estimated 18,836 people experiencing homelessness in shelters or unsheltered locations, causing tent encampments to become a necessity as solutions to solve Chicago’s housing shortage are being explored and pursued.
URB has a long-standing commitment to serving homeless veterans, a cause we have championed for several years. As we continue honoring those who served, our efforts will extend to other charitable engagements for Chicago’s homeless.
Jonn Blazey led URB’s volunteer involvement in an engagement to ready a homeless tent encampment in Chicago with a donation of material from URB for tent flooring and installation.
