The LYTE Collective

LYTE Collective supports Chicago young people ages 16–30 who are impacted by poverty and homelessness. Through our three core programs—SpotLYTE housing advocacy, Lytehouse Apartments, and the LYTE Lounge community center—we provide long-term, flexible, and holistic support. Young people can share meals, do laundry, play basketball in our gym, make music and art in our studios, access housing, healthcare, legal, education and employment assistance with our advocates, and build lasting community. Every donation helps ensure that young people have consistent care, opportunities, and safe spaces to heal and thrive.
