Homeless Programs

What you need to know for Homeless assistance in St. Louis County:

• Limited supportive housing available. Completion of the assessment can assist you in finding appropriate housing. 
• You are strongly encouraged to seek non-supportive housing options such as the HRA, private subsidies, and Section 8. (see listings)
• The completion of the assessment does not guarantee supportive housing. Supportive housing unit availability is based on need and eligibility, not first-come first-served.
• You are encouraged to follow up with the housing assessor who completed your assessment, if the assessor cannot make contact with you, your name may be removed from the list. 
• If a unit has become available and the agency is unable to contact you within 10 days, you may be removed from the list. 
• If your household is selected, you will be required to provide documentation as quickly as possible to expedite the housing process. See the lists of verifications needed in the Coordinated Entry - Verifications Checklist below.
