The Oak Park Homelessness Coalition is working to end homelessness in Oak Park, Illinois by making it rare, brief and one time. In addition to housing those experiencing homelessness and providing the needed wraparound services, we work to help those who are precariously housed. During the pandemic, more than 125 people were housed. That's significant progress, yet we have more to do to end homelessness and address panhandling.
