Rental Assistance & Community Service Resources

At Bickerdike, we believe housing is the foundation for stability, opportunity, and community. When families are able to remain in their homes, neighborhoods thrive.

We know that financial challenges can arise unexpectedly. If you are experiencing difficulty paying rent or utilities, there are local programs and trusted community partners that may be able to provide assistance. Below you will find resources designed to help residents maintain housing stability and navigate temporary hardships.

We encourage you to review each resource carefully and contact the organizations directly for eligibility and application information. If you need additional guidance, please reach out to your Property Manager. We are here to support you.
