Chicago Central Referral System Assessment Tool

En Español

Welcome to the Central Referral System (CRS). If you are homeless or living in a shelter, you can apply for housing on the CRS. The housing available on this website includes:

Permanent Supportive Housing: affordable housing with services
Permanent Housing with Short Term Supports: affordable housing with services for up to 24 months

The CRS asks you questions about your eligibility for supportive housing. You will be asked for your name and contact information. If someone is helping you with this application, we will ask for their contact information. By completing the application, you are not guaranteed housing. You may not be eligible. If you are called for an interview, you will be asked for additional information. You will need documentation of homelessness. At this time, the CRS is not being used by all Chicago PSH programs.

Please e-mail your questions to chicagocrs@csh.org.

If you need the paper version of this application, please e-mail chicagocrs@csh.org. It is available in large print and in languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, French, and Polish.

The CRS was developed by Corporation for Supportive Housing in partnership with the Chicago Planning Council on Homelessness.

This project has been made possible through The Chicago Community Trust and the Polk Bros. Foundation.
