Shiawassee County - One Stop Housing

Catholic Charities provides Coordinated Entry to implement and continuously improve our four critical processes: access, assessment, prioritization, and referral.

Rapid Rehousing Program

Rapid Rehousing is an intervention designed to help individuals and families that don't need intensive and ongoing support to quickly exit homelessness and return to permanent housing. Rapid re-housing assistance is offered without preconditions — like employment, income, absence of a criminal record, or sobriety — and the resources and services provided are tailored to the unique needs of the household.

Homeless Prevention

A supportive service that targets low-income households who currently experiencing homelessness or are at serious risk of homelessness. Assistance is provided with possible short-term motel stay, rental arrearage, utilities, and water bills.

Housing Resources & Referrals
Eviction Diversion
Security Deposits
Utility Deposits
Utility Payments (Shut-off notice required)
Moving Costs

The costs of homelessness prevention are only eligible to the extent that the assistance is necessary to help the program participant regain stability in the program participant’s current permanent housing or move into other permanent housing and achieve stability in that housing.

Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
- Homeless Preference

Assists families & individuals experiencing homelessness by adding them to the HCV waitlist. Clients must recertify as homeless every 120 days while on the waitlist. The HCV waiting lists are held by county which means that some CoCs or LPBs may have multiple waiting lists within the geographic coverage area. The ability to add households to the HCV - Homeless Preference waiting list is secured via the completion of the Key Person Security Agreement and can only be completed by HARA staff.
