Housing First Landlord Support Program

Housing First is a practical solution to end homelessness that provides permanent housing, the supports people need to succeed and assists participating landlords!

Housing First is universally recognized as the most effective way to reduce homelessness and has been instrumental in helping people and communities move forward.

It is about having a place to live, and receiving the supports to live there well.

Housing First is different than other housing strategies because for the first time, landlords are recognized as the most important partner in our fight to end homelessness.

Landlord Support Program Benefits

Landlords are sometimes asked to rent to difficult clients out of the goodness of their hearts. This can lead to uncovered damages, unpaid rent, and burned bridges between landlords, clients, and potentially housing workers.

Housing First recognizes that rental units are a dollars and cents business. Landlords and management companies are in the business of reducing risk and maximizing return on investment.
