2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Ending homelessness since 1992.New name. Same mission.
1 Housing Forward – Ending homelessness.
DEAR FRIENDS,We learned quite a bit about our agency during the process of creating a new name and logo over the past 12 months. Volunteers, donors, partners, advisors, friends old and new encouraged us to hold onto the ‘PADS’ name for our emergency shelter program while adopting an overall identity that better represents our impact and individuality.
After all, ours is the only organization in west Cook County with a full continuum of programming for preventing and ending homelessness.
That makes us unique, as does the fact that we are supported by 1,000 volunteers, 40+ staff, and 17 program partners. We receive guidance and connections from our Board of Directors, Friends of PADS Advisory Committee, and Associate and Auxiliary Boards. Our impact, whether measured in terms of dollars or affected lives, is growing both steadily and strategically.
We are Housing Forward, and the whole truly is greater than the sum of our parts.
