The housing program aids home-seekers with the acquisition of housing that meets their specific shelter needs. A housing registry is available that includes listings of accessible and affordable apartments, rooms for rent, and board and care facilities. Referrals are provided upon request. Consumers are also assisted with information regarding rental subsidy programs and standards and resources for structural modifications. When funding is available, financial aid is offered to avert eviction or to cover a portion of move-in costs for clients, who face homelessness. During the year, 165 individuals received housing referrals resulting in forty-three placements. Forty-nine families having members with disabilities were provided with financial aid to prevent homelessness. |
