We understand that this is a time of hardship and often desperation for individuals and families.
DuPagePads can help. Right now.
DuPagePads offers families and individuals a safe environment that begins with an extended trusting hand and affirming voice that helps begin the journey to self-sufficiency. Respect for each individual is a priority at DuPagePads. We know that our vital support services enable the individuals we help to receive case management and life coaching, employment support such as GED courses and job coaching, engagement with employers and much more—effectively stopping the cycle of homelessness.
