Kenosha Human Development Services Inc

Homeless assistance services - the division of homeless assistance services is designed to provide access to shelter, homeless programming, and community resources with the goal of helping people end their homelessness. To achieve that goal, we have a comprehensive response in place that ensures homelessness is prevented whenever possible, or if it can't be prevented, it is a rare, brief, and a one-time experience. Khds acts as the lead for kenosha area coordinated entry providers to ensure our community prioritizes assistance based on vulnerability and severity of service needs. In 2024 the organization provided 943 nights of emergency motel vouchers to get 209 and 119 children into safe shelters. Our outreach team served 199 people to get them off the streets and into safe shelter.

Adult emergency services - adult crisis is a mobile unit that offers 24-hours a day, 7 days a week availability of experienced mental health professionals for face-to-face interventions and/or phone counseling in crisis situations.
