Lincoln Square’s Diplomat Motel Will Reopen As Transitional Housing Facility Later This Year

LINCOLN SQUARE — A Chicago-based nonprofit with experience in trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care will operate Lincoln Square’s transitional housing facility when it opens late this year.

The Haven on Lincoln is replacing the Diplomat Motel, 5230 N. Lincoln Ave., as part of a $2.9 million renovation. The 46 motel rooms will be converted into 40 rooms tied to supportive services, including mental health and medical care.

Those services will be provided by Volunteers of America Illinois, an organization that works with children in foster care and provides affordable housing for the elderly, veterans and people experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
