HOUSING ASSESSMENTS: Anyone who is in need of housing because they are fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, human trafficking, stalking, or sexual assault can complete a housing assessment by calling the Illinois Domestic Violence Hotline 877.863.6338 (or 877.863.6339 TTY) and ask for a “Coordinated Entry Assessment”. Please note that this may or may not lead to a housing option and does not solve your immediate housing crisis.
