RentReady is a program operated by the Hunger and Poverty Prevention Partnership of Portage County. This program works with individuals and families who have had difficulties in obtaining rental housing due to prior evictions, bankruptcies, or legal issues. We are looking for mentors to walk alongside our RentReady graduates for one year. The key idea to ensure success, particularly from the beginning, is to help participants get off on the right foot and stay the course through the critical first year. We want to give each graduate the greatest chance of success to enjoy the benefits that come with a year of solid rent experience on their housing resumé.
Mentor training is provided.
