Families must be residents of the Jefferson City public school district, must be homeless (in a shelter, under threat of imminent eviction, or doubled up), must have at least one child in the home under 18 years of age, and must have a baseline form of income that they have sustained for a few months.
Clients choose their own apartment, and Common Ground pays for 12 months of rent on a graduated basis until families have full responsibility at the end of the year. Families receive one-on-one support during the year to focus on budgeting and family goals. Currently, Common Ground accepts several families into the program each year.
