Willis Dady Works
800 1st Ave NW, Cedar Rapids
The Willis Dady Works campus offers several services:
The Employment Hub is an expansion of Willis Dady's Employment program. At Willis Dady Works, clients have access to workforce training, direct employment opportunities (including mattress recycling), and supportive case management.
Also located at 800 1st Ave NW, is Hector's Place Day Center. This resource began in response to an especially cold winter, as our team was looking for places for individuals experiencing homelessness to rest and have access to community resources during the daytime hours.
The Day Center is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (excluding agency holidays) 9am-1pm through the back entrance. First come, first serve access to washers, dryers, and shower facilities are available.
Next door to the Employment Hub, the Chandler Pump Apartments contains 13 units of Supportive Housing for individuals and families leaving homelessness. This program provides housing to individuals with long histories of homelessness and help build self-sufficiency through case management.
