  • A copy of the rental agreement or verification from the landlord documenting that the person has secured housing.
  • The TBRA request for security deposit assistance.
  • A budget showing the client can afford the minimum $50 monthly payments signed by the client and the case manager.
  • The client must set up an appointment with Sandy Murry at HASLO by calling her at 805-543-4478 EXT. 316.
