Housing
The most common question regarding housing is, “Where can I find affordable housing?”. This is a very challenging question, but there are possibilities that can be addressed. Some callers need help in filling out a form to apply for or to be recertified for public housing. An advocate will help the party out if there is no one else able to do so. Other times, a contacting party will have a problem with a neighbor or an apartment owner or caretaker. If the party wishes, the advocate will contact a person or agency that may be able to bring resolution to the problem. In some cases, the advocate will refer the party to a legal aid office that may be able to offer short-term legal assistance to meet the individual’s needs.
