We need your help to end homelessness.

Having landlords and property management companies as community partners is vital to our goal of ending homelessness in Washtenaw County. 

HAWC community partners provide a link between households experiencing homelessness and landlords with vacant rental units.  We offer individuals and families help with accessing permanent housing, signing leases, moving into apartments, and case management services to help people stabilize and maintain permanent housing.  At the same time, we offer private sector and nonprofit landlords some financial guarantees, a rapid response to their concerns, and a case manager to serve as a point-of-contact when any issues or concerns arise. 

Are you willing to rent to households with rental barriers such as a past eviction, criminal background, or bad credit often due to extenuating circumstances such as an illness, divorce, or another unfortunate situation?  If so, have you considered partnering with HAWC?

Benefits of Working With Us:

•   Assistance in filling your vacant units.  Never pay for advertising again!

•   On-time payment of rent and payment of security deposits

•   Case management support for formerly homeless residents

•   Home visits from the resident’s case manager
This short, compelling video by Community Solutions for its 100k Homes initiative shows the remarkable physical transformations that often take place when people move from homelessness to housing.  There is no more convincing argument for permanent housing than these powerful before and after photos of people who have been housed by participating communities across the country.  Learn more about Community Solutions: https://community.solutions
