Housing and Shelters
IMPORTANT: All homeless families should call 211 and ask about shelter and housing program openings. Also ask to be put on their FAMILY MOBILE HOUSING TEAM WAITLIST. Most of the area shelters and housing agencies are now using this waitlist when they have an opening. Be sure to tell them what your situation is (on street, in car, motel, doubled up. etc.) and about any family members with specific needs such as disabilities, illness, pregnancy, etc. Call back weekly to check on your status. You should also call the listings below for specifics about their programs and availability.
