Coordinated Access | United Way 211
Coordinated Access places homeless individuals and families in emergency shelters. If shelter is not currently available, they will place you on the waiting list for shelter. If placed on the waiting list, a Coordinated Access Navigator will call you when a bed becomes available. Additionally, a specialist may tell you about privately run shelters outside the Coordinated Access system, and talk to you about any other local resources that may be able to provide you with assistance.
