Our Homelessness Prevention and Stabilization service helps hundreds of households in temporary crisis whose housing is threatened. Sudden job loss, reduced pay, medical expenses and other disruptive, one-time events put people who are living paycheck to paycheck at immediate risk of homelessness. They are already rent-burdened and lack the resources to navigate even a short-term crisis. This is where BEDS Plus steps in.
Through a mix of public and private funds, BEDS Plus offers eligible clients:
-
limited rental assistance
-
coverage of rent arrears
-
utility payments
-
short term transportation and childcare expenses associated with keeping or obtaining employment
-
financial coaching
