Services focus on HEALTH, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, offering a continuum of support to move households from crisis to long-term health and stability. A New Leaf continues to grow to respond to needs in our community by developing comprehensive, relevant and effective services for vulnerable and underserved families, children, and adults.
A New Leaf’s Rapid Rehousing program offers a unique solution to families and individuals across the Valley in need of help, providing utility, rent, and security deposit assistance. This program actively brings down the barriers to housing for those recovering from homelessness, reducing the months it would typically take to save for an apartment or home.
The assistance can be used for up to 12 months. The amount of assistance provided is based on case management assessments and verification of household income and debt. With temporary case management, support services, workforce assistance, and referrals to additional services, participants can address their challenges and maintain long-term housing stability.
