Stark County Homeless Hotline – Homeless Navigation

Intended for individuals or families without a place to stay that night. Referring individuals or families who already have a place to stay for the night will only prolong wait times for those who urgently need shelter.

Refers eligible callers to appropriate shelters and other programs for households that meet the HUD definition of literally homeless after conducting an eligibility interview Monday – Friday 7am to 5:30 pm and Saturdays 10am to 2pm (except holidays).

Maintains a current listing of available shelter beds throughout Stark County, and works with mental health agencies, hospitals, law enforcement, alcohol and drug treatment centers, and the courts to prevent discharge into homelessness. If calling outside of business hours for shelter and housing needs, please leave a message, and you will be contacted the next business day.
