McHenry County PADS Homeless Shelter

Remember, everything is grant funded. The workers can only move as fast as the money comes in. In the meantime, PADS tries diligently to hook its clients up to long-term housing solutions for those who are using thhe facilities and following the rules...i.e. no drinking, fighting, stealing.etc. I was a client in 2011 when things weren't so great at PADS. A man assaulted me really bad. Now things have been cleaned up a lot. Be thankful for your shelter. Lake County is much fuller and closed all weekend. It's a mess. Thank God I got matched to a Pioneer Group Home for the Chronically Homeless. None of this is easy. I was homeless in four couunties for 9 years. But you have NOT been forgotten. Your day is coming! Hang in there!
