Landlord Engagement Program (LEP)
PIC’s LEP will provide a much needed linkage between landlords and property managers with vacant units, and households currently experiencing or at-risk of becoming homeless, creating housing supply where demand generally far exceeds supply.
Scope of Program
Landlord recruitment and support
LEP provides incentives to landlords to relax the application of screening criteria to participating households, ensuring that complaints and concerns will be responded to and providing assistance when a client damages a unit.
Partner agency support
The LEP will collaborate with social service agency partners to provide direct assistance to clients through finding appropriate housing and eviction prevention support.
Client support
The LEP will ensure linkage with case management, utilization of HMIS by partners, tenancy skills education, and access to move in assistance, eviction prevention assistance and housing inspection services to determine that a unit is eligible for housing assistance use (when needed).
