ME Living Inc. & COCAS | Individualized Support
Find support for emergency housing searches, rental assistance resources, housing applications and longer-term housing stability.
Begin secure client intakeWhen housing is uncertain, we begin with your immediate safety and existing resources. ME Living and COCAS can help you explore available housing programs, prepare applications, and identify a realistic path toward stability. Eligibility and placement depend on programs and availability.
Tell our intake team whether you are sleeping outside, staying in a vehicle, moving between motels, temporarily staying with someone, living in a shelter, or facing an eviction deadline. We can help you identify appropriate local shelter, homelessness-response, safety, and housing-navigation resources. Contact 211 for community referrals; if you are in immediate danger, call 911.
We review the size of your household, your preferred cities and counties, current income and benefits, realistic monthly housing costs, transportation access, and any disability-related accessibility needs. Your case manager can help you compare possible housing pathways, from emergency resources to affordable rentals, subsidized housing, and longer-term options where available.
Housing applications often require identification, income or benefits letters, household information, and sometimes additional records. If something is missing, we can help you identify how to obtain it. We can also screen for available rent, security deposit, utility, and eviction-prevention assistance; funding and eligibility vary and are not guaranteed.
Once stable housing is within reach, the next step is understanding recurring costs, lease responsibilities, transportation, healthcare, and other supports that can help you maintain it. Depending on your goals, we can also explore employment, benefits counseling, budgeting, life skills, and future homeownership readiness.
Yes. Tell us your housing situation and financial resources so we can review possible emergency referrals, benefits, income supports, and housing programs. Housing placement is not guaranteed, and some programs require qualifying income.
We provide housing navigation and help exploring appropriate resources, but cannot promise an available bed, rental unit, voucher, or immediate placement. Availability is determined by housing providers and programs.
We can look for potentially available rental assistance, eviction-prevention, utility, or deposit programs and help you prepare eligible applications. Whether an organization can pay assistance depends on its funding and requirements.
Tell your case manager about any notices and legal deadlines right away. Keep copies of your lease and notices and consider contacting a qualified local legal-aid organization for time-sensitive advice.
