Homeless, Housing and Rental Assistance Programs
Housing Stabilization Program (Case Management and Rental Assistance)
Neighborhood Place's Housing Stabilization Program is designed to assist income eligible household with both long and short-term rental with case management assistance. Program participants can expect a case management experience that strongly emphasizes the development of self-sufficiency by focusing on employment, education, housing, wellness, and/or income management goals. Household must have earned income within previous six months (at least one member with a documented work history of at least 250 hours); be willing to participate in case management; and meet other eligibility criteria. Appointments can be made on a first-come, first-served basis via an automated scheduler at (502) 308-3344 or online at housingstability.itfrontdesk.com. See more details.
