The Chicago City Council authorized the Department of Housing to spend Lincoln Ave TIF funds on the rehabilitation and minor property renovations of the Haven on Lincoln. 

The property, formerly the Diplomat Hotel at 5230 N. Lincoln Ave., will be the site of a Chicago Department of Public Health pilot program that will provide behavioral health and housing support for people experiencing homelessness who have unaddressed physical and behavioral health needs. 

The TIF funds will support the renovations taking place in 2025 allowing the facility to begin operations in Q3 2025.
