The EHNBAC provides homelessness prevention services aimed at addressing an immediate crisis situation and providing supportive services aimed at improving economic, social, and emotional conditions for the participants we serve. We accomplish this by issuing short-term financial assistance to address an immediate need that may result in the loss of housing, which may include relocation assistance, assistance with financial budgeting, housing and victim-relation court advocacy, assistance in accessing public and private benefits and supports, and referrals to ancillary services such as job readiness, child care services, vocational training, ESOL classes, health and mental health services, small business development, self-care, and more.
In addition, we collaborate with networks of specialized organizations to secure rental assistance, legal services, free health services, job training, and a network of affordable housing development corporations to ensure access to low-income housing.
