Budget:
All applicants in our program must complete a budget in order to continue on through our program. We accept all kinds of budgets, so long as it is representative of the applicant and their situation.
Not everyone has had the same privilege when it comes to understanding finances, so we are here to help! If you need to download a copy of a budget that has already been established, we have linked a couple below. Feel free to download and adjust to your own personal needs. You can discuss your budget further with one of our Housing Counselors when you meet for your housing education and counseling session. If you still need some guidance, do not hesitate to reach out and ask for additional help!
