Family, friends, and caseworkers can add individuals needing services to the waitlist, however to complete the full waitlist intake the individual needing services will be contacted within a few days by a Homeless Services Specialist from 211 and will need to give consent to be added to the list and receive services.
Families will periodically get calls from 211info to ensure their information is up to date and shelter is still needed.
