If enrolled in a housing program people may be referred for income-based rent or move-in assistance. A referral depends on housing availability and the individual or family's needs.

If eligible, the individual must then talk with a housing specialist to discuss housing options before enrollment. The conversation with the housing specialist will usually last about an hour.
