Homelessness Prevention Helps People at Risk of Losing Their Homes

By Lindsey Falivene

Newton, NJ- Family Promise of Sussex County has been serving the community for the last twenty five years. We are dedicated employees who are here to assist you with your housing stabilization needs. The Homelessness Prevention Program (HPP) aims to address the causes of homelessness and provide support to individuals and families at risk.

HPP offers financial assistance and resources to help people maintain stable housing. This program assists individuals and families who are at imminent danger of eviction due to temporary problems beyond their control with up to three months of rental arrears.

The Homelessness Prevention Program also helps individuals and families relocate when needed, such as after being evicted, being displaced due to a fire or natural disaster, or fleeing a domestic violence situation. HPP assists those individuals with a security deposit and first month’s rent to help stabilize their housing situation.

Contact us at 973-579-1180 to complete an intake to see how we can assist you. Our intake specialists are available Monday through Friday from 8:30-4:30 to answer any questions you may have and look forward to speaking with you.
