Programs available to help residents seeking immediate housing include those which offer homelessness prevention, rental, emergency loan, moving cost and credit counseling assistance.  Programs providing long-term housing assistance can help repair and rehabilitate owner-occupied homes, fund new home construction and offer down payment, closing cost and mortgage loan assistance for first-time homebuyers. Applicants for the programs listed in the guide must meet income guidelines.
