Housing Deposit Assistance

Harmony Homes for Healing offers more than transitional housing: our dedicated team in Northern California, including Oakland and Fairfield, also connects residents with housing case management and housing deposit assistance when they are ready and able to pursue permanent housing independence. To learn more about what kind of housing assistance you may qualify for, contact the team via phone, email, or online.

How does housing deposit assistance work?

Housing deposit assistance is part of the process of getting individuals and families into long-term, stable housing. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) contracts with agencies at the local and state levels to ensure safe, affordable housing for everyone.

Ideally, with help from community and government agencies, housing insecurity can be dealt with, and the problem can pass without the worst happening. However, when the need is dire, local, state and federal programs like CalAIM Community Supports provides security deposit programs and housing assistance for those facing homelessness or eviction.

This is often the step where Harmony Homes for Healing enters the story. The caring team provides transitional housing for men, women, housing insecure veterans, and families with children.

They offer sober living and post-hospitalization support, and when residents are able to move toward a home of their own, Harmony Homes for Healing provides housing case management and assistance.

Am I eligible for housing assistance?

Your eligibility for housing assistance depends on several factors, such as your income and family size. You may be given special consideration if you are elderly, pregnant, disabled, or caring for young children.

Harmony Homes for Healing works with all ages and ethnic groups to ensure that people in need have safe environments for the short term and can pursue their housing goals in the long term.

How do I get access to housing assistance?

Harmony Homes for Healing can help you start the process and may put you in touch with your local Public Housing Authority (PHA). Federal programs like HUD now have mobile apps (i.e. the HUD Resource Locator) and a website listing affordable rental units in both urban and rural areas.

The team can assist you or refer you to community resources to help you find desirable rental housing, avoid foreclosure on your home, look into reverse mortgages, or prepare you for homeownership.
