We understand that housing challenges can feel overwhelming. Our Housing Specialists and Case Managers offer various supports to help you maintain or find stable housing. While affordable housing is in high demand and waitlists can be lengthy, our team works diligently to explore all available options with you.
Our Coordinated Entry program provides a clear path to housing assistance for individuals experiencing homelessness. Through a one-on-one interview with a case manager, we learn about your unique situation and work to find solutions that align with your goals. This may include access to short-term or long-term financial assistance paid directly to landlords, case management support, and connections to permanent housing through OlyCAP or our community partners.
For qualified households experiencing homelessness, our Rapid Rehousing program offers support with moving costs, including security deposits and first month's rent. This program focuses on helping you transition directly from homelessness into permanent housing, providing the financial bridge needed to establish a stable home.

This includes helping resolve concerns, offering guidance, and explaining the benefits available to landlords who provide housing to individuals with rental subsidies. Landlords may also initiate eviction prevention services on behalf of tenants facing financial difficulties.
