The woman who answered the phone lied. They were not at capacity at all yet the woman on the phone lied because she chose laziness.

The staff of this facility was wonderful but that is about it the LBGTQ people are not welcomed at this facility and if you want to go there and blbgtq you will be called names you will be treated differently they let the clients run the facility they let them talk about everybody to let them lie about everybody and especially the LBGTQ clients you would be better off living behind a dumpster on the street

I suggest giving it to Sharing Connections instead, and when a shelter family needs assistance, we can refer them to Sharing Connections.

Catholic Charities, Salvation Army may help. The domestic violence shelter only takes in victims of domestic violence. If all else fails, there is DuPage PADs on Liberty Street, in Wheaton. You can also go to your local township office and if you are a DuPage County resident, you can contact the county and ask for help.
