Housing Search Fundamentals and Online Housing Search Guide
When: Thursdays at 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. (Session 1), and Thursdays 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. (Session 2).
Provided in person at SVILC office 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m., and in Spanish from 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month.
Often the first step to finding and securing affordable housing is learning about the various types of housing the County can offer, what the eligibility requirements are, and how one can apply for open units or room. This information is empowering to someone who is overwhelmed with trying to understand and navigate through a barrage of often confusing systems that don’t always seem as coordinated as we try to make them.
Our workshop meets people with disabilities where they are, supports them in their decision to live independently, identifying financial goals, as well as potential barriers and opportunities. Attendees will have the opportunity to work 1-on-1 with an Intake Specialist to assess their current needs and create an Independent Living Plan.
Register in advance for this meeting here: Live Online: Housing Search Fundamentals (Session 1); Register in advance for the second session here: Live Online: How to Find Housing Online (Session 2). After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting by phone or online.
Taller de Vivienda
Cuándo: tercer jueves de mes de 1:30 P.M. – 2:30 P.M.
A menudo, el primer paso para encontrar y asegurar una vivienda asequible es aprender sobre los diversos tipos de vivienda que el Condado puede ofrecer, cuáles son los requisitos de elegibilidad y cómo se pueden solicitar unidades o habitaciones abiertas. Esta información le da poder para alguien que está abrumado por tratar de entender y navegar a través de un aluvión de sistemas a menudo confusos que no siempre parecen tan coordinados como tratamos de hacerlos.
Este taller está diseñado para ayudarlo a encontrar y mantener su arrendamiento, brindándole la seguridad que necesita en su opción de vivienda.
Aprenda a navegar a través las herramientas de vivienda en línea como: Trulia, Craigslist, Go Section 8, Facebook Rentals y Apartment Applications, de manera segura y eficiente. Se le proporcionarán las herramientas para buscar mejor. Aprenderá cómo representar su historial de alquiler en papel. El Coordinador de Vivienda lo ayudará a crear un presupuesto autosuficiente para que pueda planificar aquellos gastos imprevisibles. El objetivo es encontrar y asegurar un hogar dentro de su presupuesto para la estabilidad a largo plazo.
Una vez que comience la búsqueda, podrás mantenerse organizado. Estará preparado con toda la información que necesita para completar una solicitud correctamente.
Nuestro taller se reúne con personas con discapacidades donde se encuentran, las apoya en su decisión de vivir de forma independiente, identificando metas financieras, así como posibles barreras y oportunidades. Los asistentes tendrán la oportunidad de trabajar 1 a 1 con un especialista en admisión para evaluar sus necesidades actuales y crear un Plan de Vida Independiente.
