Welcome Home Network
Creating safe, supported homes through shared compassion and commitment.
About this Program
The Welcome Home Network is a new pilot program designed to expand housing
opportunities for tenants who often face barriers in the rental market. The program will focus
on working with landlords to house individuals and families who are traditionally deemed
higher risk, such as those with limited income, a history of evictions, or poor credit. A Place to
Call Home will provide families with strong supports that reduce landlord risk while giving
tenants a fair chance at stable housing.
A Place to Call Home will partner with landlords and property managers by providing case
management, tenant education, and financial wellness support to ensure households are
prepared for successful tenancy.
Why this Program is Special
Community change only happens when we work together. Past mistakes or financial hardships shouldn’t prevent families from accessing a safe, affordable home forever. Barriers to housing that cause tenants to be “higher risk” could also cause them to become homeless.
By asking landlords to rely on A Place to Call Home to provide support to the families, landlords assume little risk and families can finally find a place to call home.
