What is the Housing Problem Solving Program?

The Housing Problem Solving Program helps prevent homelessness and quickly rehouses people who have lost their homes. MaineHousing provides grants to agencies that assist individuals facing a housing crisis. These funds cover direct help for those at risk of or experiencing homelessness and support program operations. The goal is to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring by solving housing problems as early as possible.
