Fox 32 Chicago Live host Anita Blanton FOX 32 Chicago interviewed Andrew Winter about The Haven on Lincoln and the change it represents for the shelter system in Chicago.

The Haven is more than a new building. It reflects a shift toward shelter that is rooted in dignity, privacy, healing, and connection to services.
