Do you need help with your housing situation?
The Emergency Family Shelter Program provides temporary shelter and intensive case management services for families with dependent children experiencing homelessness. Families are eligible to stay in a shelter unit for a temporary period of 30 days with extensions of up to 45 days. Families must agree to participate in case management services to remain in the shelter.
If you are a family with dependent children experiencing homelessness, please email homeless-services [at] ccrpc.org (homeless-services[at]ccrpc[dot]org) about temporary housing at the shelter.
The Emergency Family Shelter Program is a partnership between the Champaign County Homeless Continuum of Care, the United Way of Champaign County, and the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC).
