RENT AND MORTGAGE

ASSISTANCE

If extenuating circumstances are preventing you from paying rent or your mortgage, we can help. We provide assistance to families who are faced with a short term financial hardship or crisis and keep them from losing their homes through eviction or foreclosure. We also provide referrals for short term, transitional, and longer term housing support. Our aim is simple…to limit homelessness in the community. Eligible households can receive up to $2000 once per program year.
