creating foundations for hope

CFH is here to help

Sometimes help with the security deposit is the difference between having or not having a safe place to call home.

Creating a safe place to call home requires many different pieces coming together.  Sometimes it’s as simple as having help with the security deposit.  Applicants to the Edie Streett Security Deposit Program can reside anywhere within the 21 cities and counties within the CFH service area.  CFH will contribute up to $300 to eligible applicants to help an individual or family move into a permanent rental home. CFH asks recipients to repay the funds they have received in small monthly increments.  Those funds provide assistance to help additional applicants each year.

“Thank you so much for everything and to your organization for helping me and my family. We are so grateful and appreciative for the assistance.”

The Edie Streett Security Deposit Assistance Program is made possible by the generous support of St. Mary of Sorrows Catholic Church, Good Shepherd Catholic Church and individual donors.  Recipients are requested to repay the funds they receive to help others.  The funds from the recipients who can repay allow about five additional families to move into permanent rental homes each year.
