Our vision is simple: that each person should have a safe place to sleep, and the opportunity to once again have a home of their own. We believe that when someone believes in you, everything can change. 

While only our Leadership Team is listed on this page, each of our 70+ employees is vital in our work, and we are truly grateful for them all.

The solution to end homelessness starts with housing.

The solution to end homelessness is more complex than providing individuals with food and shelter. Founded in 1985, DuPagePads is the largest provider of interim and permanent housing, coupled with support services in order to help individuals work toward a place to call home – DuPage Pads vital support services enable the individuals we help to receive case management and life coaching, employment support such as GED courses and job coaching, as well as engagement with employers—effectively stopping the cycle of homelessness.

DuPagePads IS the solution to end homelessness — because when someone believes in you, everything can change.
