About The Program
Housing Stability Case Management Services are provided to all clients. Housing stability can only be influenced by ongoing individualized services that include counseling, referrals, and links to mainstream services and benefits (including food stamps, Medicare, HEAP, and PIPP), landlord mediation when needed, and the development of an individual case plan with the goal of ensuring permanent, stable housing and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the client’s progress toward meeting the goal of maintaining sustainable housing.
Housing Search and Placement Services are provided by LCSC social workers to all clients who meet the program eligibility guidelines. The services are dependent on each client’s need for support in the search process. In almost every instance, clients need help negotiating with the landlord, most often to work out terms that allow them to remain in their current housing after a court-ordered eviction has been filed. Financial Assistance in the form of rent in arrears and utility deposits and payments may be available to qualified applicants. All applications for financial assistance are made through in-person appointments with LCSC staff. You can call (216) 226-6466 to review the qualification guidelines and get the full list of required documentation for an appointment.
