We Need Movers!
Housing Forward
We have new opportunities in our Interim Housing Program! Located in Oak Park, IL, our facility houses up to 90 clients. This program is a huge benefit of our mission to transition people from housing crisis to housing stability. We need volunteers who share this same passion and enthusiasm and help our clients as they make this transition.
We are constantly in need of volunteers able to help clients move to their permanent housing. Just one of the many blocks that our clients face in obtaining housing stability is not having the same support system as others. Normally, you would reach out to family and friends to help you move, and we are asking you to be apart of our community surrounding and helping our clients.
Please reach out if you are willing to be contacted when movers are needed

Description
Since 1992, we have transformed the lives of more than 11,000 people by helping them meet their immediate housing and crisis needs, addressing their health and income needs and transitioning them back to housing stability. Today, we’re having long-term impact on the communities of west suburban Cook County by 1.) preventing the loss of housing before it occurs, 2.) alleviating the need for long-term shelter, 3.) moving people into sustainable permanent housing solutions and 4.) improving housing retention.
