Adopt-A-Family’s Housing Stabilization Program prevents homelessness for lower-income Palm Beach County families who can’t pay their rent because they’re enduring an unanticipated crisis – typically an illness, injury, or job loss. By providing short-term rent/utility assistance augmented by case management, the program provides a safety net while families return to self-reliance.
