Units are available only to low and moderate income households.
Tenants are encouraged to actively participate in the management of their buildin g through resident councils and planned work days. All prospective tenants are screened thoroughly in order to ensure decent, safe and sanitary housing for all tenants. The shelters accept referrals for these housing units from local social service agencies as well as from city and town welfare offices. This is the only program serving the homeless by providing shelter in the two county area. Under this program, Southwestern Community Services purchases and rehabilitates government-owned homes and then resells them to HOPE 3 home buyers.
