Lifelong Housing Safety Net for families with a chronic illness who are in foreclosure

If you or someone you know has experienced foreclosure or lost housing due to renting a foreclosed property and you or a household member have a chronic illness, the new Lifelong Housing Safety Net, a partnership with Lifelong AIDS Alliance and Solid Ground, provides free support to households impacted by the foreclosure crisis who also have a family member living with a chronic illness.

• Have a household member living with a diagnosed chronic illness
• Have household income less than 80% of Area Median Income (which is $5,370/month for a family of four)

In addition to financial assistance, the program provides services that support participants’ stability, health and well-being. Services include but are not limited to:

• Housing search assistance
• Housing stabilization support
