A scattered-site program gives you rental assistance and with their help you find an apartment in the community. Once you have moved into your apartment, they help pay for your rent and provide services like case management and transportation. They can help you organize a budget and can help you work out any problems you might have with your landlord.

You can stay in your apartment as long as you pay the rent and follow the program rules. You can move to another apartment once your lease is up. However, you are not "eligible" for other permanent housing options like a residential program.

There are not a lot of rules in this program and you live on your own. Having your own apartment can be great but some people get lonely.
