Help Getting Housed in Orlando
Getting into a home takes more than finding a place. It takes a plan, support with move-in costs, and someone in your corner. Our Housing program helps people and families in Orlando and Orange County take every step — from the first conversation to the day you get your keys.
We can help with security deposits, first month's rent, move-in costs, and furnishings. We connect people to landlords who work with us. We help veterans find housing built around their needs. And for people whose family is ready to take them in, we can help get you there.
If you are not sure where to start, that is okay. We will help you figure it out.
A Plan Built Around You
Every person who comes to us for housing gets a case manager. Your case manager works with you one on one to understand your situation and build a plan that fits your life. They will help you find available housing, connect you with landlords in the Orlando area, and walk with you through the process of getting into a stable home.
- One-on-one case management with a dedicated support person
- Help finding available rental housing in Orlando and Orange County

Help With the Costs of Moving In
One of the biggest barriers to getting housed is the money. First month's rent, a security deposit, and basic household items can add up to more than most people have when they are coming out of homelessness. Our program can help cover those costs so that money is not what stands between you and a home.
We work with households in Orlando and across Orange County who are ready to move into housing but need help getting through the door. If you have found a place or are working with your case manager to find one, we can help with what it takes to make it happen.

Veterans who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability have access to dedicated support through our Housing program. We understand that veterans face specific challenges, and we work to connect you with housing resources and case management that fits your situation.
If you are a veteran in Orlando or the surrounding Orange County area who needs help getting into stable housing, we want to hear from you. You can also visit our full veterans housing support page to learn more about what is available.
