Families Matter: Rapidly re-housing homeless families

By Housing Coordinator, Tammy Mayhue
 
Community LINC’s Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) equips the families we serve to regain their self-sufficiency and their own housing. We establish the amount and types of assistance they need to rapidly obtain housing and supplement it with the services that will give them the skills and resources to keep their homes. RRH assistance is only available for families who are literally homeless - meaning they have nowhere else to go. They may be living in a homeless shelter, a motel, a car, or another place unsuitable for human habitation.
 
The Rapid Re-Housing Program is an excellent opportunity for families who lack means and support systems to move from an emergency shelter or a transitional living environment into a house or apartment they can afford with their present income.
