19 services in Berks County. If you have nowhere to sleep tonight, Coordinated Entry at the Berks Coalition to End Homelessness is the front door during the day and 211 after hours. Each shelter serves a specific group (single adults, women and children, families, youth, people leaving abuse) and has its own intake. Transitional and supportive housing are longer stays with a caseworker.
