🏡 About Hope in Keys: Rapid Rehousing

A Program of N.O.A.H.’s Foundation Inc. (NFDN)
Hope in Keys is NFDN’s rapid rehousing program designed to move individuals and families from homelessness into permanent housing—quickly and with purpose.

Our approach removes key barriers to housing by focusing on document readiness, landlord engagement, income growth, and rapid placement. Participants receive short-term financial support to secure housing—such as help with security deposits, first month’s rent, and application fees—and are expected to maintain their housing independently thereafter.

We are not a long-term rental subsidy. Instead, Hope in Keys emphasizes self-sufficiency, employment, and long-term stability—not dependence.

We believe housing is just the beginning. Through every step, we prepare our participants to not only secure a home, but to keep it.
