Pioneering a new model to end homelessness
DuPagePads' IHC is the first hotel-to-interim housing conversion in Illinois. Since purchasing the IHC in 2022, we are proud to report an 80% decrease in mental health incidents, a 75% decrease in health incidents, and 136 children registered for school.
When someone believes in you...
...everything can change.
From here to home.
DuPagePads is so much more than just shelter.
No child should sleep in a car.
1/3 of the guests in our Interim Housing Center are children. Most of them are under the age of 5. You can help make a brighter future for them and their families.
A safe place to sleep, a path back to a home.
With the safety and stability of a bed, a meal, four walls and a door, our guests can begin their journey back to housing.
