Renaissance Social Services, Inc. (RSSI) is seeking volunteer board members who want to help us fulfill our mission of ending homelessness in Chicago. We are a non-profit organization that offers supportive housing to individuals and families with disabilities, and provide a wide range of services to ensure that clients can remain housed and achieve better long-term health and stability.
RSSI is seeking interested candidates to join our Board of Directors and help guide the organization into the future. Board members meet six times a year, participate in committee work of their choosing, help strengthen the organization through fundraising and personal giving, and act as ambassadors for the organization.
We seek members from all professional backgrounds and welcome a wide range of skills and expertise. In particular, we need expertise in Human Resources, construction and housing development, and local government. Most of all, we seek individuals who are committed to ending homelessness and believe in the dignity of all people, particularly those who struggle with mental illness and addiction.

Description
Renaissance Social Services, Inc provides housing and support services for Chicago’s most vulnerable homeless residents. This past year, Renaissance helped more than more than 3,600 people - families and individuals - find homes, address their mental and physical health issues, and reintegrate into their communities.
In 2023, Renaissance served more than 3,600 people throughout Chicago, including:
- 2,186 individuals (911 households) who received resources to prevent homelessness;
- 453 participants who lived in the agency’s permanent supportive housing, including 159 families;
- 258 individuals who were rapidly re-housed; and,
- 723 people living on the streets and in shelters who were connected to housing, health care, and/or behavioral services.
Renaissance offers this broad and depth array of services because the intersection between homelessness, housing instability, and behavioral health needs is broad and requires a continuum of services in order to be effective in meeting the needs of our most vulnerable neighbors.
