If You Need Help With Rent
Tell us what’s happening. We’ll move fast.
If you’re behind on rent or facing eviction in Orange or Chatham County we have an innovative program designed to stabilize your housing within 72 hours of your intake interview. This page walks through what happens after you reach out. It is short on purpose. If you only have a minute, scroll to the orange box below and use it.
You’re in the right place. Reaching out is the hardest part. We are grateful for the opportunity to be of support if we can.
Start here.
Send us a short message. You don’t need to have everything figured out. Tell us your name, your county, and what’s going on. We’ll take it from there.
If you have a court date or a notice from your landlord, mention that too. The sooner we know, the sooner we can act.
Or
However this goes, here’s what we promise you.
We see you, not your situation.
You don’t have to explain why you’re here, apologize for needing support, or earn our respect. You already have it. We meet you where you are with kindness, patience, gratitude, respect and no judgment. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to be of support if we are able.
A real person.
Every message is read by our founder, Jay. You’ll get a response every time, even when the answer is “we’re not the right fit” at which point we will personally connect you with a better resource.
Straight answers.
We’ll tell you honestly and quickly whether we can help, what we need from you, and what to expect. No runaround. We will do our half and expect you to do yours. This will take equal effort from both of us to resolve the issues.
Privacy
We only contact your landlord with your permission, and only to confirm the situation. We don’t share your details with anyone else without you knowing. We expect the same privacy and discretion as well. Every case in unique and we adjust to each situation without a “standard” solution.
