GAPP (Guided Assistance to Permanent Placement) Housing Program

What is GAPP?

SPIN provides move-in costs (first month’s rent and deposit) for permanent housing to low-income working families with children. The GAPP Housing Program is a one to two year case management program, offering supportive services such as assistance with child care costs, job development, tutoring, budgeting, counseling, workshops, car repairs related to work, as well as other services.

Who Qualifies?

• Low-income families with children under the age of 18 currently in the parents’ custody.
• At least one adult in the household must be working full-time (the GAPP Housing Program is not a subsidized rent program). Applicants must demonstrate the necessary financial ability to afford monthly rent.
