Prevention & Diversion Program 

About the program

A low-barrier* program that started in 2019, the Prevention & Diversion Program provides funding assistance to prevent a family from homelessness or eviction, or a security deposit to divert a family from entering shelter. Case management services are provided to ensure they remain stably housed for up to one year.

Need help ?

FPGROC can provide one month’s rent or a security deposit to assist a family with avoiding eviction or diverting shelter. Eligible families:

1. Have children 18 years of age or younger in your care.

2. Are able to prove your ability to maintain the rent going forward.

3. Have a total rent balance that does not exceed the amount that we are willing, by policy, to provide to a given household (approximately one month’s rent).

4. Need assistance for a security deposit not exceeding the amount we are willing, by policy, to provide to a given household.

All requests for Prevention & Diversion funding should be submitted through the below link. This link opens on the 1st business day of each month and is open for a total of 3 days.

*Low-barrier support from FPGROC’s program means excessive documentation (including an eviction notice) is NOT required to qualify. Families who cannot be served are referred to other community resources.
