Interim Housing Program
**JOURNEYS continues to update information related to its shelter program(s). For the latest information, please check this website regularly.**
The Interim Housing Program is a NEW program at JOURNEYS that is similar to the PADS Shelter program, but is reserved for our clients who have difficulties accessing the PADS sites. The Interim Housing Program offers similar services to our clients such as safe overnight shelters from the cold weather, warm meals, access to counseling, and programs offered to meet client needs.
Clients who receive access to the Interim Housing Program qualify if they have difficulties accessing the PADS sites located outside of our facility in Palatine. These reasons might include, but are not limited to:
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.
Qualified clients are issued an Interim Housing photo identification card to gain access to an available site on the nights they are awarded a slot.
Currently, demand for shelter is greater than supply, as such, JOURNEYS awards slots through a lottery process for those interested in the program.
The Interim Housing Program is also always looking for volunteers seeking to serve those in need in the community. If interested, contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Danielle Kadamian at d.kadamian@journeystheroadhome.org or (847) 963-9163 x 121
HOPE CENTER SHELTER PROGRAM
Efforts are underway to prepare the shelter for use in the coming months. This program was created in order to supplement / support the PADS Shelter Program.
As with the PADS Program, this program (when accessible) will be made available to pre-qualified JOURNEYS clients to provide a safe place to sleep, a warm dinner, and breakfast. Program rules/guidelines are under development as the space is being prepared for opening.
Success of this program will also require significant community involvement and partnership through staffing the program/facility with volunteers during the hours of operation. If interested, contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Danielle Kadamian at d.kadamian@journeystheroadhome.org or
