Participants are required to meet monthly with a Family Resource Coordinator to address issues such as budgeting, housekeeping, education, parenting, job training and employment. Participants establish and complete realistic goals during their time on the program in an effort to move towards stabilization. Public Service Announcements are sent to community agencies and local newspapers throughout Douglas County informing the public of dates when UCAN will be accepting applications for the program. This happens approximately one to two times a year.
Participants gain the skills, strategies, and self-confidence needed to obtain and maintain housing.
They learn ways to overcome bad credit and poor rental history. Graduates have the opportunity to earn a letter of recommendation to a prospective landlord and access to a special guarantee fund.
