This fund may pay deposits, first month rent, or rent to avoid eviction. Clatsop Community Action collaborates with many other agencies and churches to provide
comprehensive services to clients. One such partnership is with the Department of Human Services (DHS). It is through this partnership that CCA is able to offer housing assistance to families with minor children through the Housing Stabilization Program. With this fund from July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008, CCA was able to prevent nine families (31 individuals) from becoming homeless. These clients must demonstrate the ability to continue to pay for their housing after the assistance. |

Continuum of Care is a transitional housing program. Intensive case management is provided to these households on a weekly basis, often in the home. For this program, CCA leases two rental units for these clients. We provide utility payments as well as some other funding toward supportive services such as medical appointment co-pays or money to pay for identification papers. These clients may remain in this housing for six
months to two years. They are interviewed by a panel of case managers after being referred from other social service agencies. The selection is based not only on need but the perceived ability to benefit from the program. |
