Centralized Intake Celebrates 10 Years

Ten years ago, homeless support providers in Polk County came together to create a central entry point for people who are unhoused. PHC Homeless Support Services is that entry point, and along with many other community partners, they assist some of the most vulnerable folks in our community to obtain housing and supportive services.

Appointments available by telehealth

If the winter weather is keeping you from coming to your PHC clinic, try a telehealth appointment. These are available for some appointments and can save you the trip of leaving your warm house!
