Waiting List

Due to overwhelming demand our waiting list is currently closed. However, Housing Options accepts inquiries for services from those who wish to be alerted when the waiting list reopens. Before inquiring for services, please review the following information.

In order to be eligable for Housing Options' services, individuals must meet certain criteria, including but not limited to:

  • A primary diagnosis of mental illness, the severity of which warrants the level of services offered by the agency
  • Willingness to participate in treatment
  • Willingness to participate in regular activity such as day treatment, employment, volunteer work or school
  • Overall needs that can reasonably be expected to be met by the services provided by Housing Options
  • Age of 18 years or older at time of program entry

Acceptance onto Housing Options' waiting list is determined based upon a short prescreening interview performed by a member of Housing Options' staff.

Acceptance onto the waiting list does not guarantee acceptance into Housing Options' program. When an opening becomes available, individuals at the top of the waiting list undergo a more rigorous screening process to determine their fit for the program. The length of time it takes to reach the top of our waiting list varies and can sometimes be lengthy due to high levels of retention. Our intake staff will inform you of an estimated time when the initial screening process takes place.

To inquire about our services, please contact Housing Options at (847)866-6144. We expect the waiting list to reopen in January 2011.
