Lincoln Park Community Services

Lincoln Park Community Services is located in Chicago, United States on 600 W Fullerton Pkwy. Lincoln Park Community Services is rated 4.4 out of 5 in the category homeless shelter in United States. LPCS brings communities together to empower individuals facing homelessness and poverty to secure stable housing and make sustainable life changes. Lincoln Park Community Services (LPCS) is a not-for-profit Illinois corporation, founded in 1985 by members of four neighborhood churches: Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church, St. Clement Catholic Church, Church of Our Saviour Episcopalian, and St. Paul’s United Church of Christ. Still supported by these congregations and countless others, the LPCS provides a safe place to eat and sleep, and a targeted array of social services to help guests become self-sufficient. Since its inception, the LPCS has remained community-based and volunteer-driven. The LPCS is also a participant in the citywide effort to transform the homeless service system, through the “Getting Housed, Staying Housed” 10-year strategic plan to end homelessness. In June 2007, the LPCS opened its newly renovated Interim Housing Community, in line with this plan. In 2019, LPCS was able to expand again, this time into the Old Town neighborhood. Today, LPCS houses 83 Guests per night through our interim housing program, owns 20 affordable housing units, and 17 scattered-site permanent supportive housing units.
