Neon Youth
The Neon Youth program pays a rental subsidy directly to the landlord.

The program's purpose is to help youth become self-sufficient, exit to permanent housing, maintain or increase income, employment, and/or benefits, exit with a high school diploma or GED, and increase independent living skills. Participants are placed into scattered-site apartments in the city of Chicago with independent landlords.
