How rent support works
From applicationto rent paid.
Step 1: Apply
Online, on paper, or with an agency worker you trust.
Step 2: We review
Our Program Coordinator scores every application against the same written rubric.
Step 3: Volunteers decide
A volunteer committee makes the call. At least one member has no ties to our board.
Step 4: We pay your landlord
Directly, every month. We check in once a year.
Governance
Fair by design.
Trust is earned in how decisions get made. Here's how we make ours.
How we make decisionsEvery application is scored against the same written rubric.
Volunteers decide who receives support, and at least one has no ties to our board.
Our directors, their families and anyone close to them can’t receive support.
Payments go straight to landlords and schools.
Volunteer
Lend a hand.
Volunteers deliver most of our programs and make every funding decision.
