Your Residential Lease Specialist!
Second Chance Housing
The Second Chance Housing Initiative creates safe, stable housing opportunities for individuals and families who face barriers to traditional rentals—such as past evictions, justice involvement, low credit, or financial hardship. We partner with supportive landlords, community groups, and service providers to offer affordable housing and wraparound resources like financial counseling, tenant education, and case management. By offering a second chance, we help people rebuild their lives and promote stronger, more stable communities.
