DuPage United is an inclusive, non-profit, non-partisan organization whose members are civil society institutions: churches, mosques, synagogues, non-profit agencies, and associations.

Literacy DuPage, a part of DuPage United, seeks volunteers to tutor adults in English. More than 100,000 DuPage County residents need help improving their English skills. Empowering an adult with language will change that person’s life-and yours, too. No foreign language or teaching experience needed. Just time and heart.
On Tuesday, March 28, 2023, the DuPage County Health Department announced the formation of a Behavioral Health Crisis Center, with comprehensive crisis stabilization services. Once completed, residents in crisis will be transported to the Crisis Center and treated by mental health and substance abuse professionals, avoiding crowded hospital emergency rooms or jail.
DuPage United will continue to work alongside the DuPage County Health Department and our elected officials to assure these services, and the needed wrap-around services such as affordable housing, become a reality for all of our DuPage County neighbors. Contact Roger Hughes with questions.
Two weeks ago about 100 Glen Ellyn residents attended another Village Trustee meeting to
urge the village to approve a proposal to build new quality rental housing affordable for
essential workers, seniors, and people with physical, mental or developmental disabilities.
For over two years congregations, non-profit members and allies of DuPage United have worked to seek approval for this proposal. To learn how you can help or for more information, contact Clara and Roger Hughes, DuPage United leaders and residents of Glen Ellyn.
DuPage United Affordable, Accessible Supportive Housing (AASH) Update
Two more wins for DuPage United and Glen Ellyn affordable/supportive housing!
DuPage United member institutions and allies achieved two recent victories towards the goal of achieving a new Full Circle Communities (FCC) affordable and supportive housing development on Taft and Exmoor in Glen Ellyn.
On February 6th, 2025, the Glen Ellyn Plan Commission recommended that the GE Village Board approve the proposed FCC affordable and supportive housing development. Over 90 residents attended this meeting to show their support.
This follows the November 13, 2024 Glen Ellyn Architectural Appearance Commission’s unanimous recommendation that the Board approve the FCC development’s exterior appearance.
A Village workshop will be held on February 18th to discuss the Redevelopment Agreement, and a final Board vote on the development will occur soon thereafter. DuPage United leaders expect that the Board will reaffirm their 2/26/24 unanimous approval of the FCC development, paving the way for this needed development to commence.
