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 the 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.  

COVID-19 Response

Status of PADS Sites

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all PADS Sites are now closed.  Current shelter clients have been housed in area hotels.  New shelter clients are being accepted at this time on a very limited basis.

JOURNEYS | The Road Home is a non-profit agency that provides shelter, social services and housing to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless in 37 towns in north/northwest suburban Cook County.  The mission of JOURNEYS is to individually assess and serve its clients, while broadening community awareness and involvement. The agency consists of the PADS Shelter Program, the HOPE Center Supportive Services Program, and the Pathways Housing Readiness Program, all focused on assisting those in need. ​In 2017-2018, we provided over 50,000 services to almost 900 people ​across the north and northwest suburbs of Cook County.
