The Shelter House website is currently undergoing maintenance to better serve our community. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, contact us here or email info@shelterhouseiowa.org to get connected. Thanks for your patience.

The Community Information Exchange (CIE) of Johnson County requests proposals from partners who can provide innovative, scalable, and sustainable solutions tailored to the complexity of a multi-agency, integrated ecosystem that supports both cross-agency coordination and crisis response. The CIE initiative aims to establish a foundation for coordinated data sharing, shared governance, and structured collaboration between stakeholders. By assessing current data sharing capabilities, identifying gaps, analyzing workforce and operational capacities, and defining future-state data flows and system requirements, the project will create a clear pathway toward fully integrated cross-system care coordination.

Our Emergency Shelter is open 24/7, 365 days of the year. Call us at 319-351-0326 to learn more about our services and to speak with front desk staff.
