HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
Housing Placement & Orientation
Once a unit is available, the applicant is notified, provided with a move-in timeline, and given an orientation covering community guidelines, tenant rights, and available resources.

Application & Eligibility Confirmation
The individual or a referring agency contacts Southbridge to express interest, and a brief screening confirms eligibility based on age and homelessness status, with priority given to senior veterans.
Documentation & Verification
Instead of income or credit checks, Southbridge collects basic identification and residency verification, offering assistance to applicants who need help obtaining necessary paperwork.
Move-In & Ongoing Support
The resident moves in with assistance as needed, and Southbridge offers continued check-ins and community support to promote long-term stability, well-being and independence.
Needs Assessment & Interview
A Southbridge team member meets with the applicant to assess their housing needs, discuss accommodations, and connect them with available support services for a smooth transition.
