Heads Up on Housing: 3/4/2016

Below are Statewide Referral Network (SRN) units that are currently available. These units don't have any persons on our online waiting list or PreScreening, Assessment, Intake & Referral (PAIR) module that have selected to live in these communities and fit the eligibility criteria.

These aren't the only SRN units available, just the units that don't currently have referrals. In order for your consumers to have access to all of the available SRN units every month, they have to be entered into the PAIR module or waiting list. Please make it a habit to add all of the individuals you are working with to find affordable supportive housing to the waiting list that is within the ILHousingSearch.org website!
