Rental Housing Assistant VISTA
 
 
 
The primary goal of NOAH’s Rental Homelessness Prevention and Emergency Housing Assistance programming is to help residents maintain or obtain their own apartment homes. There is a focus on serving current tenants who are being displaced or who are vulnerable to dislocation, overcrowding, unaffordable rents within the next 90 days. Additionally, as its secondary goal, this service line supports lower-income homeless households in locating either immediate shelter or new affordable housing. This programming is in response to the severe lack of affordable, stable housing in the Greater Boston region, and Boston in particular. With rising rents and falling vacancies, access to affordable housing is a growing concern. NOAH’s Rental Homelessness Prevention and our Emergency Housing Assistance programming is part of our organization’s commitment to low- and moderate-income Boston residents in need of support in retaining and securing affordable rental opportunities in the region. The overall aim of the program is for clients to obtain or remain in stable housing.
