DFCS

The overarching vision of IDHS is that no resident in the State of Illinois lives on the street, in a shelter or in overcrowded housing. When a housing crisis occurs, safety nets are there to support and allow for quick resolution to stabilize housing. This vision has been put to the test with the recent arrival of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers to the state. As a response to the growing need for greater capacity to provide for these new arrivals as well as for the many other Illinoisans who find themselves in need of emergency housing, IDHS Office to Prevent and End Homelessness has developed a plan to accelerate the development of shelter triage centers throughout the state.
