HOMELESS SERVICES
Description: Fellowship Housing is a two year transitional program that works
exclusively with single moms. We are located in the Hoffman Estates/Schaumburg area. If
a mom is accepted into the program, they would reside in a two bedroom apartment and

aspect of independence and stability, so when a mom is accepted into the program, they
work with a case manager on budgeting and are expected to follow a strict budget.
