Coordinated entry is a powerful tool designated to ensure that homeless persons and persons at risk of homelessness are matched, as quickly as possible, with the intervention that will most efficiently and effectively end their homelessness.
System Entry Points
The Coordinated Entry System will not prioritize crisis interventions, such as entry to emergency shelters, homeless prevention or diversion. These interventions are encouraged to operate with as few barriers to entry as possible.
They may be accessed outside of business hours by calling the following numbers:
Emergency Shelter
Daybreak Center - Catholic Charities, Diocese of Joliet (Joliet)
(815) 774-4663
Groundwork - Guardian Angel Community Services (Joliet)
(815) 729-1228
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Joliet
(815) 774-4663
National Homeless Veteran Hotline
1-877-4AID VET (1-877-424-3838)
Outreach is available throughout the CoC. Street outreach teams serve as a system entry point. Persons experiencing a housing crisis who are encountered on the streets are prioritized for assistance in the same manner as any other person who accesses and is assessed through Coordinated Entry are.
