How does it work?
Families in the program have the freedom to choose their own rental home, with Common Ground providing 12 months of graduated rental assistance. As the year progresses, families take on increasing financial responsibility until they are fully self-sufficient. During this time, they receive dedicated one-on-one support focused on budgeting and family goals. Currently, Common Ground welcomes three families into the program each year.
