How We Help

Our experienced case managers work one-on-one with clients to understand their immediate needs, identify available resources, and develop a plan for moving forward. Depending on eligibility and available funding, assistance may include: 

  • Rent and eviction prevention assistance 
  • Utility assistance 
  • Rental deposits and application fees 
  • Other emergency financial assistance related to housing stability 
  • Referrals to additional community resources 

Financial assistance is often paired with supportive case management. Our team helps individuals and families address the circumstances contributing to their housing crisis, navigate available resources, and identify steps that can strengthen their long-term financial stability.

More Than Financial Assistance

At ECHOS, we understand that families facing a housing crisis may be struggling with more than one challenge. Clients may also be connected with ECHOS’ other programs, including Benefits Application Assistance and Food Security, creating a more holistic approach to helping families regain stability.
