Homeless Service Resources

CHN compiles information about local shelters, subsidized housing, and waitlists to help our participants navigate to services that aren't provided by us but may be available based on individual/household eligibility.

How Do I Find Emergency Shelter?

For those seeking emergency shelter, click here. This list provides numbers to other organizations that may be of assistance as applicable based on the individual/household’s situation. Resources specifically for women are at bottom of the resource pages after county specific information. Depending on the situation, individuals may be eligible for other programs.

Additionally, when shelters locally are full, it is good to try to access through other counties. Shelters in other counties are listed when known on the emergency shelter list.

How Can I Obtain Housing Choice Voucher?

*PLEASE NOTE: Due to budget constraints, MSHDA’s Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program will not release any new vouchers for the foreseeable future. During this time, MSHDA will close all HCV waitlists to new additions starting July 1, 2024, and waitlists will remain closed until the budget allows for new vouchers to be released. This closure includes households that would qualify for waitlist entry via the homeless preference.
