LYTE Collective was founded to change the way young people impacted by poverty and homelessness are supported in Chicago. The organization’s model prioritizes long-term, holistic care that addresses not just housing, but the layered trauma caused by violence, systemic neglect, and survival in unsafe environments—realities that define the lives of the young people.
