Passage Home provides reduced rent housing in Raleigh NC

Passage Home in Raleigh, NC ensures that the less privileged do not fall behind in the walk of life. Their main goal is to help the less privileged members of society achieve self-sufficiency. The CEO and Co-founder of Passage Home Jeanne Teadrow describes it as “a bridging organization” that enables both private and public companies, community agencies and religious organizations to reach out a helping hand for those in need.

Perhaps the most acclaimed services of the organization are providing housing, rent and security deposit payments to those who cannot afford them. Many members of the society cannot afford to maintain or buy proper housing to provide their families with a safe haven. The people at Passage Home realize this dire issue, and work towards helping these members. Passage Home not only provides transitional housing for individuals and families, but also helps families achieve a permanent housing solution, in order to become self-sufficient.

One of their projects, Esther’s House, is a 12 month program for single women who face homelessness or have been in prison and look towards returning to the normalcy of life. The project was basically established through funding from the Sunshine Lady Foundation and Hope Community Church. Women are given residence into the home for a year, where they receive individual case management, and are able to save money till they are settled.

Passage Home has a number of projects to provide permanent housing solutions to families facing homelessness. Ruth’s House provides housing options for post-graduate clients from their transitional housing program and for the residents of Wake County who qualify via their income requirement (i.e. 60% less than the average area income). Another project “Job’s Journey” is a sober living community for graduates of Wake County.

Other than this, they also provide countless housing options at an affordable rate.  Renters who are lacking the required funds like the security deposits and rent payments can get help via rental assistance. Buyers willing to buy these homes are helped through special financing. Passage Home strives towards making a difference for lower income families who are receiving less.

Through their neighborhood revitalization program, Passage Home offers a place for community gatherings and comprehensive community programs. Passage Home is located at 712 W. Johnson Street in Raleigh. Call 919-834-0666 or visit them online for more information about rental assistance programs in Wake County.
