    Homeless Support

    Homeless liaisons and school district liaisons work directly with families to make sure that homeless children and unaccompanied youth have materials needed to complete school assignments, access to meals, and to ensure their safety and stability. They also work to identify and locate specific services or connections with other agencies.

    In suburban Cook County, if you have any questions or need more information, contact Dr. Tom Bookler at tbookler@ncisc.org or 847-803-5605. View Lead Area Homeless liaison contact information.
