What are Housing Stabilization Funds?

These funds are specifically dedicated to help Lower Cape residents get access to, or maintain, year-round housing. Funds may be available to assist eligible homeowners and renters that may not qualify for other support.

​

Examples include:

• Short term housing funds for year-round residents;

• Emergency funds for those at risk of losing their rentals or homes.

​

How do I know if I qualify for Housing Stabilization Funds?

Staff at the Homeless Prevention Council (HPC) can help you understand and access the right resources to stabilize your housing situation. You may qualify for these funds if:

​

• You are a year-round resident of one of the 8 Lower Cape towns: Brewster, Chatham, Eastham, Harwich, Orleans, Provincetown, Truro, or Wellfleet;

• You have demonstrated need;

• You have first accessed other available housing funds, if eligible, before applying for these funds. An HPC Case Manager can help determine your eligibility for this and/or other assistance.
