Evergreen House - Housing Help

Independent Living in Apartments (off-site housing)
call 751-8223 and ask for a Housing Case Manager

Teens and young adults ages 16-21 who need housing may be eligible for help with off-site housing. This program is available to homeless youth and other youth who are aging out of a juvenile placement (such as foster care) and have nowhere else to go. Youth who are living in very overcrowded or inadequate housing may be eligible for this program. Pregnant and parenting teens may also be eligible for housing assistance and case management services. Evergreen's Housing Case Managers can help you find an apartment, check it out, and help you pay for application fees, damage deposits, and partial rent costs for up to 3 months. Teens must be able to pay partial rent costs for the first few months, and then full rent costs for the 4th month and beyond.

Teens in this program can also receive help with independent living skills, including education and employment. A Housing Case Manager will meet with you to do an "intake" and develop a plan to meet your personal goals. Teens are required to meet with the Housing Case Manager once a week during the time they are receiving help.
