The Housing Assistance Program helps individuals or families who are homeless or about to be evicted from rental property. Applicants selected to participate may receive financial help with move-in expenses, help with making a plan to maintain housing and budgeting skills, as well as referrals for GED classes, technical school, college, or training programs. Clients will be connected with applications for benefits or mainstream resources and other supportive services, as needed.
Program participants will be required to pay a portion of their expenses each month, as determined by the MACH program staff.
Additional eligibility criteria will be discussed with each applicant.
Referrals are ONLY accepted through Case Managers or other representatives of homeless shelters and community organizations.
Agency representatives should call 2-1-1 to make the initial referral to the program.
Clients must be homeless or at risk of homelessness. Click here for the HUD definition of homelessness.
