MIFA Housing Opportunities
Eligibility requirements
Clients go through a comprehensive
screening process before acceptance. We are almost always at capacity –
in August of 2008, 151 families sought acceptance to MHO, and only
eight were accepted.
In addition to attending classes, residents
are required to seek employment, pay down debt, save money, and set
goals for progress. While they remain in MIFA housing, guns, drugs,
alcohol, and overnight guests are prohibited, and families are provided
with case management, health care, counseling, and childcare. When they
complete all the program’s requirements, they leave with furniture,
savings, housing, and employment.
