IV PADS

More than a bed!

- IV PADS is a safe place for the night.
- IV PADS is a PLAN for a workable future for an individual in crisis.
- IV PADS utilizes case management, assessments, and service plans.

Individuals are able to improve their lives by building skills learned in the Education Programs. They then develop positive change in their own lives and end the spiral of hopelessness, unemployment and homelessness.
