MCDHS Homeless Program

Offers preventive services to keep low-income individuals and families in their own homes, if possible.

Alternatively, provides temporary shelter if for the homeless until they can be relocated to permanent quarters.
Social workers work with the individual/family to help them relocate into affordable housing.
Housing may be saved with back payments of rent, mortgage, utilities, or a time-limited subsidy.
The customer needs to demonstrate that they will be able to afford their housing after the assistance is given.
Other services include transportation, food, and medical needs.
