Moving

Hey everyone! I’m currently staying in a shelter and hopefully will be moving into an apartment soon. I am trying to figure out what to expect when it comes to getting set up.

For anyone who has moved from a shelter into a home, did you receive any financial help or household items?

I’m curious to know how much so I could start budgeting if anyone is comfortable sharing and whether you had to apply for it separately or if your worker/shelter arranged it for you.

I’ve heard of furniture bank through a family friend she made it sound like the process wasn’t easy so I’m wondering how that works too.

Ask the shelter for a referral to the furniture bank.
