Rent Well Continues to Support Tenants
At our agency, we believe that everyone deserves the right to live well, be well, and Rent Well. That's why we offer an extensive tenant education program that helps individuals learn key skills and tools to be successful in housing, including understanding landlord expectations, budgeting, effective communication skills, and successful move-in and move-out processes. Since taking over the program in 2016, more than 3,550 participants have completed the Rent Well course.
In the last year, the program has grown to include 80 partner agencies in Oregon and Washington that use our curriculum to train clients. We're proud to announce that our team is now developing a stand-alone eCourse and mobile app to help partner agencies reach even more people, in more languages, across the state.
"The Rent Well course was the best thing for me. I could not have made it into housing any other way. Now I am in my own place for the first time in over 13 years. I don't have to live in my truck, car, or in the woods. Truly, homelessness to housing."
