FAMILY HOMELESS PREVENTION AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (FHPAP)
FHPAP works with families or singles who are homeless or are at imminent risk of homelessness, or living in shelters to stabilize their lives. By providing services such as budget counseling, assisting with damage deposits or first month's rent, the FHPAP program’s primary emphasis is to prevent homelessness, re-house persons, and eliminate homelessness. These programs also assist youth and veterans, in addition to those who are seriously and persistently mentally ill with housing needs. Click here for an application
