Interim (Overnight) Housing Program

The Interim Overnight Housing Program offers families and individuals a safe environment. The spirit of hospitality is a priority, as well as respect for each person. Volunteers assist staff in providing dinner, breakfast, and a bag lunch; sleeping space; and support activities.

DuPagePads case managers work to engage individuals to move from crisis to self-sufficiency, including providing parenting, self-esteem and other groups/workshops and opportunities for education and employment services.  Thirty sites throughout DuPage County provide shelter 365 nights a year on a seasonal basis with support from congregational and community volunteers.
