Homelessness Prevention

Housing Information & Resources:

HOW takes all referrals for our supportive and affordable housing programs from Chicago’s Coordinated Entry System (CES) and additional partners. We do not maintain a separate wait list for these programs and do not accept direct referrals.

​

If you or someone you know is seeking temporary or permanent supportive housing, the person seeking housing must visit a Housing Access Point to be assessed for the CES. Contact ces@chicagococ.org with questions. 

 

Access our Housing Information & Resources pamphlet by clicking on the button below.

Emergency Shelter:

If you or someone you know are experiencing an emergency, please dial 911.

 

If you or someone you know needs a place to stay, dial 311 or visit a Community Service Center. For Metro Chicago, call 211. They will connect you with help for rental assistance, homelessness prevention, and/or overnight shelters.

 

HOW does not operate an emergency shelter program. Questions? Please contact Housing Opportunities for Women at (773) 465-5770.
