Guiding families to self-sufficiency in DuPage County
Families Helping Families of Illinois is now an independent nonprofit!
FHF is so grateful to our generous donors and SPONSORS for 30 years of support. This year has been a fabulous success, including finalizing our 501 (c) (3) designation—which is why we are now Families Helping Families of Illinois! So many people worked to make this possible, and we believe this transition is going to help ensure the next 30 years of success.
Thank you for your ongoing trust and support!​

Homelessness:
Did you know?
There is a common misconception that family homelessness is self-induced, or that somehow the family is to blame. When we get to know families facing homelessness, we discover that many times people are working as hard as they can and still cannot afford a place to live.
While the circumstances surrounding each family’s housing crisis differ, there is one universal truth: These are parents who care deeply about their children and who truly want to provide a better life for their family.
To achieve their goals, these families need people to believe in them, to give them opportunities, guidance and support, all provided with patience and empathy. This is where Families Helping Families excels.
