On July 24th we co-sponsored a virtual meeting to learn about Anthos Home, a non-profit organization in New York City that is transforming the process for securing permanent housing for families, including young adults leaving foster care. The Anthos Home model is based on building relationships with landlords, developing a bank of suitable apartments, and supporting voucher holders and landlords through the process. By proactively reserving and preparing housing units specifically for voucher holders, participants are guaranteed immediate access to suitable apartments. The model has significantly shortened the time to secure an apartment while also increasing housing retention.
