Review for Housing Forward, Maywood, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

West Suburban PADS does a little bit of everything, and they do it all well. Whether it's what you think of as PADS overnight shelter or one of their many housing and service programs that help people get out and stay out of homelessness, West Suburban PADS is a leader in cutting edge practices that truly help our west suburban neighbors in times of crisis.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

meeting individuals who have succeeded in leaving homelessness with the help of the good people at West Suburban PADS.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

expand it.

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field & I direct an alliance that collaborates with West Suburban PADS on multiple projects.
 

Review for Corporation For Supportive Housing, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

CSH consistently sets the bar high as a leading source of training, technical assistance and advocacy for supportive housing to help end homelessness. Whether it's number crunching or telling the stories of homeless people who've succeeded in their journey, CSH helps put legs under a nationwide effort to solve homelessness. I've interacted with CSH staff from several of their offices nationwide (Illinois in particular), and I've come to expect smart, dedicated, thorough support every time.

With more general support, CSH could participate more in local coalitions and planning, even when there isn't a paid consulting relationship.

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field & I rely on technical support from CSH staff in Illinois.
