The Ready to Rent program can help you strengthen your affordable housing application. You can schedule an appointment with a financial counselor who can help you with your application.

Financial counseling does not impact your placement in affordable housing lotteries. It can put you in a better financial position to get affordable housing.

A community-based service provider can help you find and apply for affordable housing.

Both services are free and confidential. Help is available in multiple languages.
