RAPID REHOUSING | EMERALD DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC NETWORK

Helps individuals and families transition from living in emergency shelter by paying for rental deposits and rent. Goal is to help the client come out of homelessness. Does not assist with maintaining housing. Clients of this program will receive case management to connect to other community services. A Housing Locator will help the client locate housing that will accept the voucher and to match them to housing that fits their specific needs. If approved for service, client will have 21-30 days to find an apartment (a Housing Locator at EDEN will assist the client with this search, it is best to start engaging with the Housing Locator as soon as possible).
