Homeless and Lodging Assistance

Lodging assistance may be available for individuals and families who are homeless and in need of temporary lodging.  Lodging assistance can be accessed once in a twelve month period.  The number of lodging nights is determined on a case by case basis and is dependent on the availability of funds.  Only those who are in immediate need and have a plan for permanent housing will be eligible to receive this assistance.

Persons seeking lodging assistance will be asked to provide:

1. Information for all household members, including, but not limited to: Name, Date of birth, social security number, contact and residence information, level of education, etc.
2. Proof of income for the last 30 days for all household members, 18 & older
3. Receipts documenting expenses for the last 30 days
4. Proof that the household will have permanent housing at the end of our assistance
