EVICTION PREVENTION PROGRAM

The Eviction Prevention Program assists families in Clay County who are facing eviction to maintain their current housing. If approved, a family in our Eviction Prevention Program can expect a maximum of 6 months of rental assistance (including delinquency) while actively working towards independence.

● Mercy Support Services is strictly the administrator of the Clay County SHIP funds. Final approval or denial of all applications are determined by the county.

● Financial coaching by a trained Mercy Program Coach is a requirement to receive financial support. All requirements and guidelines will be explained in detail during the application process.
