HOW
LONG DOES IT TAKE TO QUALIFY AN APPLICANT?
Applicants can be qualified the same day if all documentation is
submitted. A long-term relocation plan must be developed following
eligibility determination.
WHEN
SHOULD THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE?
As soon as possible following notification that their household
must be relocated.
WHERE
CAN THE FAMILY BE RELOCATED TO?
Each case differs according to the needs of the family. We can provide
assistance for placement in shelters,
hotels, and apartments on short or long-term leases.
WHAT
IS LONG-TERM RELOCATION PLANNING?
Long-term relocation planning means that the ELPR Program will work
with case managers and the family to develop
a housing plan that includes immediate relocation needs combined
with a long-term housing strategy. For example,
the ELPR Program pays 4 weeks stay in a hotel awaiting return to
the primary residence following lead abatement.
The ELPR Program pays a hotel stay during the applicant’s
housing search and pays a rental subsidy when housing
has been identified.
