Specifically, the selected provider will deliver two core services: 1) housing navigation and landlord incentive services to assist the FYI voucher holder to lease a rental unit in the private market; and 2) independent living skills training and life skills supportive services to maintain stable housing and not return to homelessness. The housing navigation and landlord incentive services will include but not be limited to housing search assistance, security deposit/utility deposit/rental application/holding fees assistance, landlord recruitment and outreach, landlord incentive and/or retention payments, moving expenses (including move-in fees and deposits), tenant-readiness services, essential household items, and renter’s insurance. The independent living skills training and life skills supportive services will include but not be limited to case management, financial literacy, educational attainment, workforce development, and housing stability strategies. These services will be designed to meet the unique needs of TAY and former foster youth who have been matched with a FYI voucher while fostering long-term stability and self-reliance.
