If you are homeless in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area and are looking for medical services, meals, or shelter, contact Al Ausili, Outreach Worker at People’s Community Health Clinic at homeless@peoples-clinic.com. Al will help you connect with services available in the community (such as meal programs, and shelter) and medical services at Peoples Community Health Clinic. Peoples Clinic is located at 905 Franklin Street in Waterloo, Iowa. The phone number is (319) 272-4300.
