Housing Services

We believe that everyone should have access to stable, safe, and permanent housing. CAPSC provides housing navigation and assistance to individuals and families residing in Strafford County. We strive to ensure that assistance is provided as effectively as possible and that it is accessible no matter how or where a person begins seeking help.

How Can We Help?

CAPSC can provide supportive services that help people maintain housing once it is secured. Our staff assists with household budgeting and financial literacy, employment preparation or support, understanding lease terms, and defining behaviors of a responsible tenant and neighbor so that each person can succeed.

Financial assistance may include:

Moving costs
Security deposits
Short-term rental assistance
Unpaid back rent
