HOUSING RESOURCES

HOUSING RESOURCE NAVIGATION

IOCP staff can help make sense of the housing market, housing options and assistance programs, and help you create a housing plan and put it into action. If you are experiencing changes in your housing circumstance and/or affordability, we can help you develop and implement a plan to re-establish housing stability.

This program does not provide any financial housing assistance. The types of information and assistance we do provide are:

  • Looking at your housing challenges and working to reduce them: Low credit, past evictions, low income
  • Exploring housing options: Market rate, below market rate, subsidized, housing with services
  • Making sense of complex housing systems: Housing subsidy, Housing Stabilization Services, Tenant rights
  • Developing a housing search plan and moving forward: Find housing opportunities, complete applications, work with landlords

To learn more or get started, contact your IOCP staff person, such as your Case Manager or Neighborhood Program Coordinator. If you do not have an IOCP contact already, please call the front desk at 763-489-7500, or email to clientintake@iocp.org for further assistance.
