Status of PADS Sites

The PADS Shelter Program is created in partnership with area faith communities to provide overnight shelter to those in need. The PADS shelter season runs from October 1st to April 30th each year. 

In order to gain access to the program, individuals seeking shelter must register and complete intake paperwork with JOURNEYS to be qualified for participation in the program. As part of the intake process, case managers work with the clients to assess needs and identify which programs they qualify for.

Currently, demand for shelter is greater than supply
, as such, JOURNEYS awards slots through a lottery process for those interested in the program.
 


​Coming out of the agency’s strategic plan, JOURNEYS | The Road Home has three main strategic goals:
  • A Robust Transportation System
  • A Year Round Shelter System
  • A Comprehensive Affordable Housing Program

JOURNEYS | The Road Home and COVID-19

COVID-19 has disrupted our everyday lives, and at JOURNEYS, it is no different. We have implemented our own response plan to keep our clients, volunteers, and staff members safe and healthy at the HOPE Center and at all of our PADS Shelter locations hosted by our faith partners.  

We are committed to serving th
e members of our community who have no home where they can withdraw away from possible infection and at the same time have increasingly fewer public places in which to go.  ​
