Housing
Finding stable housing is one of the biggest challenges. Here are your options and resources.
Research transitional housing
Transitional housing programs provide temporary housing while you stabilize. Many include case management and support services.
Find Housing Resources →Apply for rental assistance
Programs like Section 8, HUD housing, and local assistance funds can help with rent deposits and ongoing costs.
Know your tenant rights
Landlords cannot always deny you housing based on a record. Know your rights under local and federal fair housing laws.
Know Your Rights →Set up utilities
Contact utility companies to set up electricity, water, and internet. Ask about low-income assistance programs like LIHEAP.
Consider roommate options
Sharing housing can make rent more affordable. Look into sober living homes or shared housing programs.
