These are secure apartments or houses managed by the agency. There, women pay just 30% of their gross incomes for rent and utilities.The Homelessness Prevention program supports graduates who are living independently. Agency case managers remain in regular contact with these women, identifying problem areas and helping them solve problems as they arise. Case managers also provide advice and referrals to women outside the program who are homeless or are in danger of becoming homeless.
