Our permanent housing projects are designed to provide safe and secure housing options to specialized populations in need. Once our residents meet the application criteria, they are offered a yearly lease and may stay as long as they are abiding by that lease agreement. Rent for these programs are generally based on 30% of income and residents must be 50% below area median income to qualify.
Our tenants are monitored by our housing coordinator and provided with supportive services as needed, with the ultimate goal of insuring that our tenants can remain in independent housing that is suitable for their specific needs.
