Housing Stability Program

House with keys.png

Our Housing Stability Program provides Emergency Assistance in the form for rental, mortgage, and utility assistance. If you are past due on rental, mortgage or utility payments, we may be able to provide you with financial assistance. Each household served under the program engages in short-term case management services to address ongoing barriers to housing stability.

 

Our Housing Stability Program prioritizes households that are at risk of eviction or foreclosure due to loss of income or an increase in expenses. In an effort to be fair, equitable and prevent households from entering into homeless situations Almost Home will prioritize those that have one of the following: foreclosure notice, 10 Day Notice, Demand for Compliance Letter, Notice to Quit, or a scheduled Housing Court date. In addition, we can work with anyone that is directly referred to us by Colorado Legal Services that is in imminent risk of becoming homeless.

We believe this process will ensure that we can prevent households from entering into homelessness and ensure that we are implementing our Housing Stability Program to best serve our community and allows us to triage all applications at a quicker pace. For those who do not meet eligibility, we will provide them with information and referrals to other programs and services to best meet their needs. Our staff is working tirelessly to provide the services and the resources to keep people in their homes.

 

Our Housing Stability Program is an open and self-referral program.

The application opens on the 1st of every month from 9:00am-11:00am. 

​

Eligibility will be assessed based on the grant funding available at the time of application.
