• Friends should have a reasonable plan on how they will pay for their rent in the future.


• See Support Matrix document for organizations, such as SEACAP, that can be contacted for rent financial assistance.


• Required move in deposits are the responsibility of the Friend. SVdP can help with "ONLY" the rent portion of the move in costs.
