As you may know, this year we are pursuing a new initiative to create more support for tenants approved through the ARCH by HomeScreen program. ARCH: At-risk Renters’ Connection to Housing is a part of HomeScreen that helps renters currently or at risk of homelessness connect with landlords open to renting to applicants with barriers. Our goal is that 70% of ARCH applicants approved in 2024 successfully complete the terms of their first lease.
We will reach this goal by providing ongoing support for the renter, caseworker, and landlords who approve ARCH applicants, including assistance finding financial assistance if the tenant falls behind in rent or helping mediate other issues if they come up. We are also creating an animated video series that renters can refer to on their own time throughout their tenancy to help answer common questions. We launched the video series earlier this year and are happy to share two more videos covering “How to Move Out” and “Energy Saving Behavior.”
We are creating these videos based on feedback from our 400+ nonprofit users related to the most common challenges or questions when their clients move into housing. We are using advice from landlords and other published resource guides to create the script for these videos. We are hopeful more tenants will engage with the video format and absorb more of this information as they move through the different stages of their lease.
