Learn more about possible help
Public Housing
Public housing is usually owned or managed through a housing authority. It may serve families, elderly residents, and people with disabilities.
Find a local office
Veterans / HUD-VASH
Homeless veterans may qualify for special housing support connected to HUD and VA services. The right first call may be the VA, a local PHA, or a homeless-services provider.
Veteran starting path
Families With Children
Families facing homelessness may need shelter referral, school stability support, food help, transportation support, and housing applications at the same time.
Prepare documents
Seniors & Disabled Renters
Some programs have preferences or separate housing options for elderly residents, disabled residents, accessible units, or supportive housing.
Ask about preferences
Avoid Rental Scams
Never send money before verifying the property, landlord, application process, and official contact information. Assistance programs should be verified directly.
