Alliance To End Homelessness

Located in Hillside, Illinois, the Alliance to End Homelessness is the lead agency for the Suburban Cook County Continuum of Care (CoC), a regional network working to end homelessness through collaboration, data-informed planning, and housing-focused solutions. Learn more through the Alliance’s official overview of its work.

The Alliance coordinates Coordinated Entry, a community-wide system that connects people experiencing homelessness or housing instability with resources and helps match them to programs based on their needs and preferences. It also leads the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) for suburban Cook County and DuPage County, supporting information collection and coordination among service organizations.

The organization works with youth leaders, provider agencies, and community partners on a young-adult Coordinated Entry system and efforts to prevent and end youth homelessness in suburban Cook County.
