in your area. In our area there is a homelessness prevention program ran by DHHR. Their funds are often combined with other funds to pay the up=front costs of securing a place to live. There may be something like that near you. Also, check into section 8 rental assistance which can help subsidize their rent. If they make too much money for DHHR there may be another agency offering rental assistance. I find that calling your local Community Action Agency will often get you the information you need. Community Action Agencies are great resources for information and referral or they may operate the programs internally. I wish your co-worker good luck.
