Rent is paid each month by participants and is 30% of the participant’s adjusted income. Catholic Charities will assist families to obtain proof of homelessness, apply for all benefits for which they are eligible, and demonstrate a clear desire to be self-sufficient and seek/maintain stable employment and demonstrate a desire to be self-sufficient.
