Rapid Re-Housing
As there is waiting list for this service, please call or email to make an appointment
Rapid re-housing is a solution to homelessness designed to help individuals and families to quickly exit homelessness and return to permanent housing. It is offered without preconditions (such as employment, income, absence of a criminal record, or sobriety). Resources and services provided are typically tailored to the unique needs of the household. There are three core components of rapid re-housing:
1. Find Housing
Families must locate a place to rent. If necessary, our case manager will help identify potential landlords.
2. Security Deposit & Rent Assistance
The goal of the security deposit and rental assistance is to help with the costs associated with getting into housing. Family Promise will pay the security deposit and first-month rent, or security deposit only if income-based rent, to help people secure a place to live. Family Promise also ensures people will not pay more than Fair Market Rent (FMR).
3. Case Management
Once housed, the goal of case management is to help stabilize clients connecting them to needed services and programs to navigate the barriers that may stand in the way of maintaining housing. Through these connections, clients are able to build a support system in our community.
