For Individuals Facing Foreclosure/Eviction

During the current economic crisis, more and more families are facing foreclosure and/or eviction and are facing homelessness.  If you have been given a 3-day pay or vacate notice, and/or your home is being foreclosed upon and you have no place to go, the first step is to contact Associated Ministries Access Point 4 Housing (AP4H).  Families currently homeless or facing homelessness must make AP4H their first point of contact.  Pierce County has implemented centralized intake in order to offer a single, trusted access point to which people can be referred for assessment, case management, emergency shelter or transitional housing.
