Having provided overnight shelter for eighteen years, in 1999 SJOM became a Transitional Shelter.The purpose of the transitional program is to more effectively assist homeless men in the difficult task of building stability in their lives.Besides 24-hour living accommodations and three meals a day, the new program offers participants a broad range of supports and services.

  • Persons admitted to the transitional program must enter of their own volition and be documented as homeless.

  • Individuals will not be admitted if they are:

Beginning with Fr. David's vision, San Jose Obrero Mission has for eighteen years been providing shelter for homeless men here on the near southwest side of Chicago.  That work of service continues. 

Your faithfulness in giving to the Mission helps this important work to continue.  We are counting on your generosity as we move forward with providing shelter and much more to homeless men in our community.
