Dear Christa,

We were able to locate a couple of different programs that serve Moosup, Plainfield and Windham County. It is our hope that you are able to get the assistance that you need to help you move into your new rental home.

ACCESS Community Action Agency

Tenants in Moosup normally contact ACCESS Community Action Agency when interface with an eviction. However, case managers are also committed to helping lower income tenants find and move into permanent housing that is both safe and affordable.

Helping tenants meet the move-in requirements of the new landlord is one of the mainstays of their transitional housing program. You could benefit from this case management, especially since you may also need help with security deposits for your utilities in addition to your rent. ACCESS Community Action Agency can help you with this. For more help, call 860-450-7400 for the Willimantic office or 860-412-1600 for the Danielson office.

Security Deposit Guarantee Program

If you believe that you meet the definition of lower income, and you may wish to call your local Department of Social Services. The DSS office administers the Security Deposit Guarantee Program for the state of Connecticut.

A deposit equal to up to two months of your rent (first month and last month) may be provided by the state of Connecticut to help you move into your new rental home. The security deposit assistance is generally available to households earning less than 150% of the federal poverty level. Your local DSS office can answer any questions about the program, accept your application and distribute funding to your landlord on your behalf. To begin, call 860-424-5373 or schedule an appointment at your local DSS office.

This security deposit assistance is made available to Moosup and Plainfield residents who need help meeting the move-in requirements of their prospective landlords. To receive the aid you will need to contact the agencies directly.
