Emergency Housing Resources

While ACDC does not offer direct rental or housing assistance to individuals, we know how urgent and overwhelming housing challenges can be. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of trusted resources for those seeking support.

Our mission is to build long-term, affordable housing solutions—but if you’re facing a crisis today, we want to help you get connected to organizations that may be able to assist right now.

Click the links below to explore a variety of emergency resources that are available at the local, state, and federal level. We’ll keep this page updated as we learn of new resources.

You're not alone. Help is out there—and we’re rooting for you.
