2007 community impact

Our fiscal year 2007 Community Impact describes the progress we have made in the last year to end and prevent homelessness in DuPage County. 

key Highlights

• This year 93 families asked for assistance through DuPage PADS - 80 children were without the safety of a home in our county, approximately a 33% increase over last year.

• We are excited about being able to provide housing with support to 33 individuals this year in apartments throughout the county who now have a place to call “home” through our Permanent Supportive Housing Program.

• In this new fiscal year we have welcomed our first family into our Permanent Supportive Housing Program.

housing solutions

We have the solution to end homelessness – creating housing opportunities with critical support services for individuals and families who are in crisis in our county.

This year we are issuing a call to action for each person involved in government, congregations, businesses, corporations and our community.  The time is now to build bigger solutions and seize opportunities for change.
