according to the Chicago Coalition for the homeless: "Per the August 2014 CCH analysis, people living in families totaled 70,028, or 50.5% of Chicago’s homeless population. There were 48,743 children (35% of the city’s total, estimated at 138,575) and 21,285 parents or grandparents (15%).Unaccompanied youth (ages 14 through 17) is estimated at 4,500 (3%).Single adults totaled 64,047 (46%). This adult total includes 7,686 unaccompanied youth who are ages 18 to 21." This data gives me an idea of the type of people that will be most in need of a dwelling.
