What is the Lincoln Park Community Shelter? The Lincoln Park Community Shelter (LPCS) is comprehensive
social service agency serving adult men and women who are experiencing
homelessness. Located in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood,
the LPCS has been providing shelter and other basic needs to
our homeless neighbors for over 20 years. Today, the LPCS provides
transitional housing, meals, and a targeted array of social
services to over 450 people each year. More...
Guests Speak Out! A new feature on our website showcases the creative
expressions of the individuals here at the Lincoln Park Community
Shelter. Guests have submitted art ranging from poetry to
drawings, creative-nonfiction to photography. Guests have
chosen to share this work with the larger LPCS community as
a way of expressing their unique and diverse perspectives.
