     • Market rental or home loan rates as high as $1100.00 - $1500.00 per monthly payment.

     • Had a catastrophic event, loss of work, death in family, fire and many other issues that would affect their income and personal property. If the circumstances are to cause a loss of housing due to an eviction or foreclosure we would help.    (It is more cost effective to keep them in their home than to pull them out of Homelessness).
