Renter’s
Boot Camp 101
This introductory dive into the world of Unaffordable housing, will uncover information for new and returning renter’s, surrounding independent housing versus supportive housing options; and Market rate versus Subsidized housing.
We’ll also discuss simple ways to address and overcome historical barriers (Evictions/UDs, criminal convictions, lack of rental history, low/no credit score, mental/physical handicaps).
And state/federal programs that can assist with a never-ending rental bill; most importantly, programs that may even pay all or part of rental fee(s)!
