About this help

What this can include

From home safety fixes to rent help — when available in your area.

Screening alone does not approve rent or repairs. A person checks what is available where you live.

Examples

Kinds of housing help

A real person walks through what may fit after screening. Not everything is available everywhere.

  1. Home safety changes

    Changes at home so you can move around more safely.

  2. Mold and pest help

    Help with mold or pests in the home.

  3. Healthier air at home

    Help improving the air at home.

  4. Needed home equipment

    Equipment you need for health reasons, like a small fridge for medicine.

  5. Help with asthma triggers at home

    Help fixing home issues that make asthma worse.

  6. A place to recover after medical care

    A short-term place to recover after a hospital stay, when you qualify.
