A family may qualify for our program if they lack a fixed, regular or adequate night-time residence.
If you live in a shelter, or transitional housing program, or doubled up, or if you couch surf with friends or family because you do not have a permanent address; or if you live in a motel or campground because you cannot find or afford housing or live in a car, abandoned building or a place not normally designed for sleeping, we are here to help.
