Great Launch: 

City of Refuge - Chicago assists young adults who have recently graduated from college in moving into their own homes. City of Refuge - Chicago locates, picks up, stores and finally moves items. Through this assistance, the goal is to allow young adults to "launch" well on their own with either no or very little debt. Financial counseling is also offered.
