If you are not currently working with our program, the first step is to call the HARA Homeless Hotline at 906-789-0545. Leave your contact information and a brief description of your situation and you will be placed into our call log. Our staff will be notified when that is complete and will reach out to answer questions and/or schedule an appointment for an evaluation.
What to Know
MDSCAA began the Homeless Assistance Program during the 2016/2017 program year. Staff work with any individuals or families who are literally homeless and help them to stabilize their housing needs by providing them with resources and access to housing programs.
Eligible households may receive help with case management services and potentially receive financial assistance such as security deposit and short to medium term rental assistance.
In addition, homeless service staff are sometimes able to provide sleeping bags and tents or can set up emergency shelter, providing people with an immediate, safe place to sleep at night.
For a free, confidential eligibility assessment,
please call our screening hotline at (906)789-0545.

If you are in need of shelter after business hours, please call (833)200-5004 or Dial 211.
