Formal Diversion Programs
We administer formal diversion programs with government funding to guide families away from the cycle of housing instability before it begins. This essential step helps prevent the devastating effects of homelessness on families and children.
Rental Assistance & Landlord Mediation
We provide critical support through rental assistance and landlord mediation. This helps families resolve housing issues and remain in their homes, a key strategy to keep them from entering the shelter system.
Community-Based Approaches
Through our community-based strategies, we work directly with local partners and volunteers to ensure families have the resources and support they need to stay housed and stable.
