No, we do not provide emergency housing. In California, the only form of emergency housing available through the city is typically shelters. Our focus at My New House is to assist individuals and families in finding long-term, affordable housing opportunities for low-income residents across the state.

We guide clients through eligibility, income requirements, and housing applications. We help match you with current listings and support your application with professional references.

My New House does not provide direct cash assistance for rent. However, we help individuals and families apply through the government program CalWORKs, which offers financial support for eligible households.

Our Utility Relief Program for Single Parents is currently on hold due to a limited budget. We are doing our best to secure additional funding so we can continue helping families through this program in the near future. However, we connect individuals and families with programs that help lower the cost of essential utilities such as electricity, gas, and internet. We also assist with utility payments.

We are not affiliated with any of the properties. We act as a support system to help bridge the gap between you and housing opportunities.
