CENTRALIZED INTAKE | PRIMARY HEALTH CARE

Primary Health Care Centralized Intake is the centralized intake location for Polk County. Anyone experiencing homelessness can be referred to PHC for assistance. Each case manager will complete an intake with the household and may provide referrals to shelter, housing, public benefits or any other resource that will meet the household needs. Anyone who may be seeking emergency shelter for their family should come to PHC to complete an intake as all three emergency family shelters placements are referred through PHC.

Also offers a shower to those who are homeless and in need.
