How to apply

The housing referral process

A clear, accountable path from inquiry to stable placement. PHN does not guarantee housing or a specific timeline — availability and occupancy are confirmed individually per property.

The steps

From inquiry to placement

01

Inquiry

A resident, family member or referring professional submits a housing inquiry through PHN.

02

Intake & Needs

PHN gathers needs, preferences and any accommodation requests to match appropriately.

03

Matching

We match the person with a verified operator or property in an active market.

04

Referral & Follow-Up

A referral is made and PHN follows up to support a stable placement.

What we ask on the public form

  • First name and preferred contact method
  • Phone or email
  • City desired, budget range, move-in timeframe
  • Private/shared room preference and transportation needs
  • Consent to follow-up and privacy acknowledgment

What we never ask publicly

  • Social Security numbers
  • Diagnoses or medications
  • Discharge papers
  • Detailed criminal records

If a later application review requires sensitive documentation, we use a secure, separately authorized process — never a public marketing form.
