The problem it helps you solve

Housing is one of the hardest pieces of a reentry plan, and address approval is usually the pinch point. This tool lays out what to prepare so the housing conversation is not the thing that delays release.

What is inside

  • What to prepare before approaching a housing provider
  • How address approval typically works, and who holds it
  • What shared housing operators need documented up front
  • Questions to ask about house rules, costs and expectations
  • Where to go if a referral is declined

About 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.

Discuss Your Housing Needs

Use this resource to prepare, then start the conversation it is designed for. Nothing you submit commits you to anything.
