Chicago House—founded in September 1985 as an organization committed to providing a home to individuals dying of HIV—has relocated its central hub to the South Loop, at 2229 S. Michigan Ave., Ste. 304.
The central hub includes the organization's administrative offices, the TransLife Care program and employment services.
Meanwhile, Chicago House's scattered-site housing as well as its HIV outreach and prevention teams have relocated to St. Bernard's Hospital, 326 W. 64th St.
This fall will bring several opportunities to engage with Chicago House, including a virtual conversation series about race, housing and segregation; and the AIDS Run & Walk community fundraiser.
