Does the Housing First Program provide people with actual apartments or houses?

No, the Housing First Program does not have apartments or housing to rent to people.

  • You will be assisted to rent a unit from private market landlords.
  • The program has Housing Specialists and their job is to find landlords that want to rent their units to people participating in the Housing First Program.
  • It can sometimes take time to find a unit that a person wants and can afford, but the Housing First Program will keep working to help find a housing unit.
