NDRH Housing Stabilization’s focus is helping households experiencing homelessness find long-term stable housing. Once an application has been submitted and approved, the applicant will be matched with a Household Engagement Coach. Applicants will gain an understanding of their lease and Letter of Commitment, and how to have a successful renter and housing provider relationship.

Once applicants are housed, NDRH will assist with three months of rent. During this time, the applicant and coach will look at additional resources around the state to potentially assist with financial needs.

You may qualify for help with utility bills and future energy costs through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Visit the Apply for Help page to learn more about eligibility and apply.
