The first site was opened on January 4, 1993, with space donated by Turner Memorial AME Church. Matthew House moved to its current 6,000 square feet location at 3722-28 South Indiana, Chicago, Illinois in June 1993.

Matthew House was one of the first Daytime Supportive Service Centers providing service to men, women and children with a holistic approach. Our track record continues to demonstrate that working collaboratively with our community, clients, volunteers and staff, we are able to offer a range of high quality services which include a Computer Learning Center, GED Training, Job Skills Training, Healthcare Services, and expanded Supportive Services.

Matthew House has continued to expand its array of services to meet the diverse needs of homeless men, women and children. Our goal is to allow these individuals an opportunity to move towards the greatest degree of independence possible. Matthew House has been successful each year in placing approximately 40 individuals in temporary and/or permanent housing, and continues to be at the forefront of providing Daytime Supportive Services for all genders in Chicago.

Matthew House is a nonprofit tax-exempt community based organization whose mission is to empower homeless and near homeless individuals and famlilies to regain and maintain control over their lives. We are located in the Bronzeville/Douglas community of Chicago at 3722-28 South Indiana Avenue.
