Resources in Linn County
If you are looking for shelter or housing assistance, you must first contact the Coordinated Entry team that operates Housing Services. They will do an initial assessment and provide resource referrals. We do not fill our own shelter beds or accept direct requests for housing assistance. You will need to call 319-366-7999 and leave a detailed voicemail, fill out the online form here https://www.iowahousinghelp.com, or go directly into their office at 318 5th St SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.
If you have US military experience, please contact our Veteran Program team at 319-651-8545 or GPDVeteranReferalls@willisdady.org to determine eligibility.
