Who this is for
Agencies, property partners and prospective residents.
The problem it helps you solve
Resident income, benefits eligibility, agency referral, housing acceptance and written payment authorization get treated as one step. They are five different things, handled by different people. This tool separates them.
What is inside
- The five distinct steps, defined
- Why a referral is not a payment commitment and an MOU is not a guarantee
- What a written payment authorization should contain
- Payer categories, and how to document them per individual
- Questions to ask before promising anyone anything

Housing costs and payment questionsAbout this resource
This is an original Preferred Housing Solutions resource describing our own approach and process. It is not an executed contract, and it is not an approved agency, government or funder document. Nothing in it guarantees housing, funding, a placement or a referral. Where a figure or a requirement is property-specific, it is confirmed per property rather than generalised.
