THE PROJECT HOME MODEL
Unlock Housing
Finding an apartment is hard. Qualifying for one can be even harder.
Project Home helps renters overcome the barriers that keep them locked out of housing.
Through housing navigation and financial lease guarantees, we help people find available housing that fits — and give landlords the confidence to say yes.
We open closed doors.
Low credit score. Limited rental history. A past eviction. Income that is difficult to document. A criminal record. Earnings that fall below a landlord’s standard rent-to-income requirement.
For renters, these obstacles can make it nearly impossible to get approved for a home—even when they can afford the rent.
Project Home helps people navigate the housing search, connect with available homes, and work directly with landlords to make approval possible. We back each lease with a financial guarantee, reducing the landlord’s risk and opening the door to renters who might otherwise be screened out.
And our support doesn’t end when the lease is signed. We work with tenants and landlords throughout the tenancy to support stable housing that last.
Creating housing solutions that work now.
“Everywhere I turned I heard no. I had to earn more than double what I was making to rent an apartment. I would likely be waiting six years before I received government rental assistance. What was I supposed to do until then? Finally, Project Home said yes. And because they said yes, the landlord said yes.”
