Are you currently homeless?

See below for a list of Central Florida locations where you can meet with a triage specialist. Choose whichever location is most convenient. If you are unable to visit in person, you can also call 2-1-1 or go to hfuw.org/get-help/211-help/ for assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Important: If you are a military veteran in need, please call 2-1-1 or (407) 743-5117, visit any of the veterans sites below, or email veteran@hsncfl.org.

​

For all others, please know… 

The sites below are listed by county. These are safe locations where people experiencing homelessness can meet with trained workers to explore housing resources.

​

Unfortunately, most emergency shelters, particularly those for families, are full, and rental assistance and voucher programs depend on the amount of funding available at the time you apply. But workers will do everything they can to help you explore alternatives to being on the streets. They'll discuss your situation and try to help you get a roof over your head and access to food, healthcare, job training and other resources as quickly as possible.

Housing assistance also depends on your eligibility, and it is not typically provided at the time of your initial visit. People will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis until 15 to 20 minutes before closing to ensure each person has sufficient time with a triage specialist. 

Note that families do not need all members present at this initial meeting — only the head of household.
