Renaissance Social Services, Inc (RSSI) is seeking volunteer Associate 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 men, women and families in homelessness, and provides a wide range of services to ensure that clients can remain housed and achieve better long-term health and stability.
We are seeking interested candidates to join the RSSI Associate Board and help guide the organization into the future. The role of an Associate Board member is to be an ambassador and fundraiser for the organization - to help educate others about homelessness and raise the funds needed to make our work possible. We seek individuals from all professional backgrounds and welcome a wide range of skills and expertise. Most of all, we seek individuals who are committed to ending homeless and believe in the dignity of all people, particularly those who struggle with mental illness and substance abuse.
To learn more about RSSI, we invite you to visit www.rssichicago.org or to contact Ricardo Cifuentes, Director of Development and Communications through this post, or by email at rcifuentes@rssichicago.org. We'll be happy to answer any questions and send you additional information about the roles and responsibilities of Associate Board members. Thank you for your interest in RSSI!

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.
