The Summer Transitional Shelter Program is designed to foster self-sufficiency for clients that are on an employment or educational track with a combination of short-term shelter and supportive services in order to rapidly re-house individuals who are homeless in west suburban Cook County. Clients are able to stay a in a warm, safe place two weeks at a time as they rotate throughout our 7 shelter locations. Looking for volunteer opportunities over the summer?
