The program assists clients in finding/viewing apartments, rooms for rent, and sober homes. Clients are further assisted in preparing an initial budget for living and securing the necessary funds for rent. Some furniture donations are also available. Linkages to nursing services and other providers are offered, as well as landlord mediation (if needed).
Interest-free loans are issued for security deposits and must be paid on a monthly basis until the loan is repaid in full. Bridge subsidies are also available if eligible. These subsidies are a grant for partial rent payment until such time the client receives permanent subsidies through Section 8 or other housing subsidies. To be eligible, clients must be on a waiting list for Section 8 assistance or have their name on a subsidized housing waiting list.
