What this organization describes

Because Everyone Deserves Dignity

Hesed House is the second largest shelter in the State of Illinois, and the largest shelter outside of the city of Chicago.

Hesed House sees 16 newly homeless individuals each week – that's one new homeless individual every 10 1/2 hours. Hesed House strives to get 16 or 17 individuals out of homelessness each week.
