WELCOME

The Inner Voice, Inc. was founded in 1984 by Rev. Robert Johnson with the aim of providing Chicago's homeless population with the means to become self-reliant. Initially, Inner Voice operated out of a store-front location on West Madison Street; and provided overnight shelter residents with meals, clothing and a refuge during the day. Within a few years, though, the agency's founder saw that Inner Voice needed to provide more if it was to make a lasting impact on the lives of the people that were coming in day after day. Reverend Johnson held an abiding faith that people, regardless of their struggles and difficulties, were deserving of support in obtaining permanent housing and regaining self-respect. In 1991, Reverend Johnson began recruiting other visionaries who were willing to volunteer countless hours to support the agency's mission. Within one year, Inner Voice had established the Rev. Robert Johnson Learning Center and the Pioneer House - its first transitional housing program.

For twenty-six years, Inner Voice has expanded its services in response to the needs of the community, and today, the organization operates nine shelter residences, six social service programs and three permanent housing programs for persons with disabilities.

Last year, Inner Voice provided 315,781 meals, placed 571 individuals into full-time jobs and helped 731 households secure permanent, stable housing.

Although these accomplishments are significant, the true measure of the agency's success will be a steady reduction in the number of households that are impacted by homelessness.

In the years to come, we will continue to partner with groups and individuals that share our vision.

We believe that everyone, regardless of their current circumstance is entitled to have a "place to call home" and that with your help it is possible to end homelessness.

Please join us.
