The Linkages Rapid Re-Housing Program also works with the owners of housing units. In Southern Alameda County owners sign a contract with Abode Services and a lease with the tenant. If you rent to a Linkages participant, your relationship with that household will be no different than that with your other tenants. Each family is supported by a case manager to ensure that they are following through on their goals. The family is referred to services and provided with resources to assist them in achieving self sufficiency. Case Managers perform monthly home visits, help clients with a budget plan, and follow up on housekeeping and other issues to assist with leasing.
