​​​​​LANDLORD ENGAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAM​​ (LE​AP)​

The ​Landlord Engagement and Assistance Program is designed to address the challenges facing the homeless system of care by increasing positive exits to stable housing from both sheltered and unsheltered homelessness. LEAP is a robust program that will work with landlords, social service providers and its participants to quickly and permanently rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness. 

LEAP will be administered by an experienced partnering agency who will engage landlords to increase rental units available in the market for people exiting homelessness. The Partnering agency will provide landlord incentives, housing support services and case management services to support both the participant and the landlord. 

​The Partnering agency will work with participants to match them to a stable home, provide life skills and respond to landlord concerns to help participants gain the tools needed for a successful tenancy.
