The
Homeless Prevention Program is in place to serve individuals and families in
Baraga, Houghton, and Keweenaw by providing short-term subsidies to defray
rent and utility debts for families that have received eviction or utility
termination notices.
In
addition the Homeless Prevention Program will provide assistance with first
month’s rent to permit individuals or families at risk of homelessness to
obtain permanent housing. All individuals seeking assistance will be
expected to meet with the Homeless Prevention Case Manager to receive brief
life skills training in one or more of the necessary areas. This may include
assistance with budgeting, accessing community resources, and/or
seeking/maintaining employment.
