Update:
Housing Navigation Quick Move-in Funds (QMIF) program has reached its funding limit and has spent all the money for the year. As a result, Urban Triage does not have any remaining QMIF funds for security deposits , rent assistance, or arrears for those experiencing homelessness.
Applications that were processed and approved before funds were spent will still be paid. Unfortunately, applications received during September will not be processed at this time. We are not expecting any further funds to be available in the near future.
