Where To Find Help

Whether it be finances to afford housing or even mental health assistance, programs do exist to help ease with the transition to and retention of housing. Unfortunately, a lot of these resources face budget constraints or in general lack of resources due to extreme need for services in today’s social-economic climate.

 

But that doesn’t mean that help isn’t out there.

 

A good place to find immediate available resources is the 211info.org website.
