Shelter Plus Care

Shelter Plus Care (SPC) is tenant based rental assistance specifically for households that are very low-income, homeless, and have one or more adult persons with disabilities. SPC can be used in Klickitat or Skamania counties in Washington.

"Disability" that can be verified includes: physical, mental, or emotional disability, chronic problems with alcohol or other drugs, AIDS or a related disease or a combination of these disabilities that significantly impairs the adult's ability to live independently and is expected to last for significant duration.

"Homeless" under this program means that without this assistance, the applicant is currently or will be on the street or other inappropriate place (parks, vacant buildings, etc.) within a few days. It does not mean "at-risk of homelessness sometime in the future

Applications for the Shelter Plus Care Program are accepted on a referral basis from a social service provider when funds are announced and during the application period only. A waiting list is not maintained for the SPC program.
