COUNSELING SERVICES

 If you can’t find what you need in our Rental Housing Handbook, our counseling services can help. We offer free, confidential counseling to help you obtain or retain permanent rental housing or homeownership. We can also provide information, referrals, and crisis-oriented counseling on issues such as rental deposits, maintenance and repair, terminations or evictions, and more.

 

Our HOPE for Stable Families program also provides crisis resources for those facing homelessness.
