The Housing Navigator Program is a one-year program funded through the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA2) Program, authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
The navigators for this program work with families experiencing or at risk of homelessness to find and maintain housing. This program supports housing navigation services, recognized as a best practice by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Navigation involves helping a household that is experiencing or at risk of homelessness develop a housing stability plan, address the barriers identified during the plan, and acquire documentation and complete forms required for housing. It also involves a housing search, which includes attending property owner meetings, setting appointments, and assisting with paperwork related to housing applications. Navigation also includes tasks associated with securing and maintaining housing as well as follow up check-ins to address barriers to housing stability.
The three major components of the Housing Navigator Pilot Program are:
Navigators will work with households experiencing or at risk of homelessness in obtaining housing, and assist them in maintaining stable housing following lease up.
