The Neighborhood Place is providing direct financial assistance (and back rental arrearages), security deposits on new rental units, back utility arrearages, limited moving cost, and temporary hotel stays (if applicable). The 8 Neighborhood Places will serve as a central intake for HPRP. If a client desires direct financial assistance they will have to access the assistance through the Neighborhood Place. After the first month of assistance, all HPRP clients will be referred to one of the four HPRP service agencies (as awarded through the independent HPRP Grants committee). These four agencies include: the Urban League, Family and Children First, Catholic Charities, and Legal Aid Society, Inc. Confirmation that clients are still eligible for HPRP financial assistance will be made back to the Neighborhood Place from these 4 service agencies after the first month of assistance.
