Homelessness Resources

Pursuant to regulations in the state of Illinois, in an effort to provide assistance to students experiencing homelessness, institutions of higher learning are required to designate a liaison who can offer assistance and resources for students who are homeless or are experiencing varying types of homelessness while enrolled at the institution.

The homelessness liaison serves as an advocate for students in matters pertaining to housing and is responsible for providing guidance related to financial aid eligibility of homeless students or federal and state financial aid resources that may be available. The liaison has additional reporting responsibilities, is responsible for publishing information on the institution’s website regarding services and resources that may be available, and to train the institution’s employees on matters related to identifying homelessness or potential homelessness.

For students residing in the State of Illinois, please contact the Designated Homelessness Liaison:
