Housing search and placement
- Assess housing barriers and build a housing plan with each household
- Search for units and reach out to landlords
- Help complete and submit rental applications
- Coordinate lease-up and move-in
We find housing for the households you serve, get them moved in, and stay with them after move-in so the placement holds.
Two services, contracted by the agency that serves the household. Your agency keeps eligibility determination; we do the housing work.
Agencies contract with us on a purchase order. We work as a contractor, not a subrecipient.
The Back Outside Collective is a Detroit nonprofit focused on one thing: getting households into housing and helping them keep it. Our services fit the housing search and placement and case management activities funded under ESG (24 CFR 576.105(b)) and the Continuum of Care program (24 CFR 578.53(e)).
For shelters, housing agencies and City of Detroit programs looking to add housing navigation capacity.
