Our San Diego Safe Zone Program offers rental counseling to those clients seeking housing counseling rental assistance.
It is designed to match client housing needs with locally available housing projects. Clients usually receive 1 to 2 hours of housing counseling. Before the appointment, clients are given contact information for obtaining a free credit report and are advised to bring copies of pay stubs or other income sources to the screening interview. At the screening interview, the housing counselor explains the agency’s role in helping the client locate affordable, safe housing.
The client signs a disclosure form acknowledging that the agency does not endorse any specific housing program or complex and does not have a financial interest in any project or complex the client may be referred to.
