HOME4GOOD is a new initiative to recruit and retain landlord partners to increase access to market rate housing for people facing homelessness.
HOME4GOOD takes a two-prong approach:
• Recruiting landlords to work with people facing homelessness
• Supporting landlords already participating in Community Shelter Board’s housing programs.
RECRUITMENT
Financial incentives are available for landlords who make available SRO or 0-3+ bedroom units to second chance renters. Benefits include:
• Incentive payments to landlords of $300 for each SRO or 0 bedroom unit, $500 for each 1-2 bedroom unit and $750 for each 3+ bedroom unit
• Additionally, rent and deposit assistance for tenants to increase stability
• Opportunities to directly help the community by renting to veterans, individuals, and families facing homelessness
• Vacancies will be filled quickly because there are always tenant families ready to move in!
• Community Shelter Board's partners continue to work with tenants and serve as a point of contact and support for the landlord
ONGOING SUPPORT
A Risk Mitigation Fund is available to reimburse documented property damage, loss of rent, and other related issues. The fund provides an additional safety net for landlords, beyond a normal security deposit, when housing second-chance renters. Loss may include but is not limited to documented physical damage to a property beyond normal wear and tear, lost rent, unpaid utility charges, and, in certain cases, pest extermination.
The PSH Partner Eviction Mitigation Fund is intended to decrease evictions for rent and damages incurred by clients living in site-based PSH units in Franklin County. Reimbursements for physical damage to a property must be older than 90 days and may not exceed $1200.00 per client. Reimbursements for rent balances must be older than 45 days and may not exceed $600.00 per client. Should the required amount to stop an eviction be above the stated amounts, CSB will assess those on a case-by-case basis.
If you would like to participate as a community partner landlord or get more information about HOME4GOOD, contact Nick Brenner • nbrenner@csb.org • 614-715-2559
