Life Changing Services

Partner with Goodwill Housing

Help change lives. Become a partner landlord with Goodwill’s Housing Program and help individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness transition to permanent housing.

Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania provides tailored service delivery to meet the individual or family’s needs with an emphasis on rapid transition to independence. Our qualified, experienced staff guides our clients to increased stability and improved quality of life through permanent housing.

Our program is unique due to the size and scope of available services:

Goodwill has strategic partnerships that enable our clients to access a broad range of services and supports through a multitude of funding streams, community organizations, government entities, educational institutions, physical and mental health providers, income support providers, and employers.

Goodwill also provides numerous services including high school equivalency, English-as-second language classes, computer classes, job search and placement services, and more.

How it works:

  • Goodwill assists by working with the client to find a nearby community that is a good fit for the individual/family’s needs (employment, schools, etc). Identifying landlords who are willing to work with the program is key to the success of the program and to the success of the individual/family transitioning from homelessness.
  • Goodwill assists the client by identifying the barriers that have contributed to their homelessness, and work with the client to develop a plan toward mitigating all the conditions that led to their homelessness.
  • A service coordinator works with clients on a daily/weekly basis to prioritize goals and connect the tenant and family members to additional supports and services.
  • The progress of the client is closely monitored on a daily/weekly basis to determine appropriate level of need. We identify setbacks and/or progress in order to upgrade/downgrade intervention as appropriate.

The benefits for landlords working with Goodwill:

  • We work with our clients to gain and retain employment.
  • We provide workshops on how to be a good tenant. Clients learn tenant responsibilities, as well as best practices and policies to prevent lease violations and eviction.
  • We help each client develop a monthly budget.
  • We teach our clients harm reduction techniques.
  • We offer landlord engagement and mediation.
  • We assist our clients with payment agreements, security deposits, and rent payments.
  • We offer immediate response/support should a problem arise.
  • We perform frequent home visits and regular phone contact with clients.
  • Ask about landlord incentives and risk mitigation!
