At our Family Housing sites, tenants get support and referrals to ensure they are supported to maintain their housing. The program serves a diverse group of tenants, including single adults as well as families, youth and children who may be facing varying degrees of mental health, who may be fleeing domestic violence or who may be actively using substances, experience addiction, and/or social isolation and who come from racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds.
