JOURNEYS| The Road Home is beginning a new shelter and rehousing program called Interim Housing, aimed at expanding our sheltering base to reach a further housing insecure population. The shifts with the most need are 2nd shift from 10:45pm to 3:00am, and 3rd shift from 2:45am to 7:30am. We have a specific need for female volunteers but welcome all interested participants. The main responsibility of these shifts is oversite of the client population as they sleep. If you have questions about the task, please reach out to Danielle Kadamian at d.kadamian@journeystheroadhome.org.

About JOURNEYS | The Road Home
Location:
1140 E NORTHWEST HWY, PALATINE, IL 60074, US
Mission Statement
The mission of JOURNEYS | The Road Home is to individually assess and serve the homeless and near homeless, while broadening community awareness and involvement with the homeless.
Description
JOURNEYS is a collaborative effort between the HOPE Center and PADS shelter sites focusing on intervention and prevention for those in need. The clinical staff at the HOPE Center provide a wide array of psychological services, including mental health counseling, vocational rehabilitation, and housing assistance, all geared to helping our constituents achieve independence. Along the way, 19 faith-based emergency shelter sites provide dinners and a safe, warm place to sleep from October through April and 5 faith-based emergency shelters providing the same hospitality from May through September.
The face of homelessness has changed. Financial instability now affects a wider segment of our population, extending into the middle class and even beyond. Our goal is to not only serve the needs of these people, but the community as a whole as our efforts provide services for free, and in turn, offset costs typically absorbed by hospitals, municipalities, and legal systems.
