DFSS funds and oversees a network of overnight and interim shelter programs, including over 3,000 shelter beds at 50 facilities operated by 29 delegates. DFSS is integral to coordinating shelter placement for Chicago residents. DFSS funds a delegate agency to respond to shelter requests around the clock, including transportation, triage, and placement of individuals and families in open shelter beds across the city. Additionally, the Shelter Placement and Resource Center (SPARC), located at 2241 South Halsted Street, offers a 24/7 in-person intake location dedicated to connecting single adults (not families) with shelter placements and providing interim basic services. The SPARC can accommodate up to 200 people awaiting shelter placement.
