Interim Housing Program
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 higher barriers to stability then others, or 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:
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.
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 [email protected] or (847) 963-9163 x 121
