Homeless prevention serves households or individuals who are already housed. This can be defined as: a rental without previous subsidy where the resident can provide a signed lease agreement and verification of residency.

To be eligible for housing prevention support, you must be facing eviction for late or missing rent payments or adheres. You must be able to provide the eviction notice, notice to vacate, or notice showing imminent risk of homelessness, per funding requirements. Prevention funding will pay back owed rent to ensure you remain in compliance with your lease agreement.

If you believe you are eligible, contact 211. Inform them of your eviction notice and asked to be referred to a prevention program.
