Overview

Housing First is an opportunity that starts with your very own apartment. This is not a temporary apartment, this is yours! This means you will be a tenant in a building, and get to follow what it means to be a good tenant. Being a good tenant (and not getting evicted) is something you work on with your support team and landlord. Don’t worry though, if you have any questions we can help with all this. We’ll even help you move in and get your apartment setup!

Housing First also makes a variety of options available to you. Once you are ready, your Housing First worker will listen to you and find out what you think would help. This could be anything from someone to go to Bingo with, how to buy and cook groceries, questions about your apartment, medications, doctors… anything you can think of. Housing First will also help with complicated stuff if you need it, like doctor visits, drug or alcohol treatment, counseling, helping cope with other problems, and dealing with harmful things that may be around you.

At some point you may not want or need any of the options Housing First can provide. That’s great, you can graduate from Housing First and your apartment is still yours!
