Career Skills: Finding and Maintaining Your Housing

Join the Career Development Team for their Career Skills session on Finding and Maintaining Your Housing.

Finding and Maintaining Your Housing – A Guide to Stability, Strength, and Self-Sufficiency

Housing is more than shelter—it’s the starting point for healing, growth, and hope. This course is designed for individuals and families who have experienced chronic homelessness, economic hardship, legal challenges, or mental health struggles—especially in the wake of the 2008 recession and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Whether you’ve exhausted public assistance, are navigating systems that feel broken, or just need a fresh start, this course offers more than information—it offers encouragement, community, and real tools for change.

In this course, you will:

• Discover local housing options and how to access them

• Learn how to prepare for success with documents, budgets, and planning

• Identify and work through barriers like legal issues, credit, or mental health needs

• Understand lease agreements, landlord expectations, and your tenant rights

• Build habits and boundaries that support long-term housing stability

• Reconnect with your self-worth and envision your own definition of “home”

This is not just a housing workshop—it’s a path to possibility.
With practical resources and emotional support, you’ll leave with a better understanding of your options and a renewed belief that you can reclaim your future.

“Your story doesn’t end with struggle. It begins with courage. Let’s build a foundation for what’s next—together.”
