Executive Summary

South Suburban PADS (SSPADS) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization with a mission to prevent and end homelessness in the south suburbs of Chicago. Over the past 34 years, we have provided 656,598 nights of shelter and 1.98 million meals to enable 19,817 people to overcome homelessness. In addition to shelter, South Suburban PADS provides pathways home by helping over 400 people to preserve or access affordable housing homes every year. Our work addresses racial inequity by helping those who are unhoused (85% African American and 5% other people of color) to obtain affordable, permanent rental housing and work to achieve better health and economic security. SSPADS is the proud recipient of the 2018 Bank of America Neighborhood Builders Award and the 2019 National Good Neighbor Award.
