Housing Access Services
North Bay Housing Coalition helps to address YOUR housing needs to help achieve both short and long-term housing stability and security.
Through our specialized Housing Access Services Program we support individuals served by North Bay Regional Center, including those who are:
- Living in a family home
- Residing in a Community Care Licensed (CCL) facility or Intermediate Care Facility (ICF)
- At risk of losing housing (e.g., facing eviction notices or verbal warnings)
- Living in transitional housing
- Experiencing homelessness
- At imminent risk of homelessness per HUD’s definition
Housing Access Services are based on an Individual Housing Plan that we will help you to develop, which is based on your unique needs and desires.
Part of these Services include creating a New Renter Portfolio. Your New Renter Portfolio includes your apartment applications, income verification and identification documents. We also offer courses on Budgeting For Your New Home, and Understanding Your Lease.
Pathways
North Bay Housing Coalition’s PATHWAYS Program is rooted in over 22 years of experience in housing access services, designed to support adults living in family homes. We have developed our unique PATHWAYS Program with a curriculum to guide families in planning for long-term support.
This program is now integrated into North Bay Regional Center’s Coordinated Family Support Program, assisting families in establishing long-term goals, discovering resources, and creating action plans for when family caregiving may diminish.
