Getting help with housing: Overview
Getting help with housing: Overview
Having a safe place to live that you can afford is important to your health. But for many people, it's hard to find housing that meets their needs. Maybe housing costs a lot, so they're sharing a crowded home. Or they may live in a home that needs repairs because of lead, water leaks, or other issues. Some people may not have a place to live.
If you need help getting housing or making home repairs, talk to your doctor, a social worker, or a faith leader. They can connect you to resources in your area.
You can also find help by going online to findhelp.org or benefits.gov or 211.org or by calling 211.
