Housing Tips

HELPFUL HOUSING TIPS

ARE YOU ABOUT TO BECOME HOMELESS?
  • Make sure your state ID or driver’s license is current and available. Shelters and assistance programs may have strict ID requirements.
  • If possible, store your belongings. Shelters have limits on how much you may bring.
  • Arrange for your mail to be delivered somewhere or talk to your local post office. Many have special services for people who are homeless. You may be able to get a free P.O. box or receive general delivery service.
  • Pack a bag for yourself and each member of your family.
  • Keep important documents and needed medications with you.
