About

PADS of Elgin is a congregate shelter two blocks north of Elgin Community College. Our shelter is open 24/7 year round. In addition to a safe place to sleep, we provide our guests with three meals daily, access to showers and laundry facilities, clothing, shoes, basic necessities, and comprehensive case management. Each guest works with a Case Manager to address what brought them to PADS and to get back into sustainable housing. 

Guests of PADS need to have a connection to our service area (Elgin Township, Dundee Township, Hanover Township, or Rutland Township). Please call the shelter at 847-608-9744 for more information.
