Rehousing Programs

What are rehousing programs?

The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness identifies the following 3 components of rehousing programs:

Housing Identification — assistance finding housing options that are affordable
Rent and Move-In Assistance — financial assistance and other types of moving-related assistance
Case Management and Services — help getting connected with local resources

The two housing programs listed below are not in the emergency category because they provide reliable housing for a longer period of time than emergency shelters. However, they still are meant for students in emergency housing situations, like homelessness, housing insecurity, or unsafe living conditions.

Aggie House

This student-run program guarantees residents rent-free housing for up to one year, with breakfast and dinner provided. The house has the capacity for 10 students and the operations of the organization are run by student volunteers. The program is overseen by the nonprofit Students 4 Students.
Typically, the house is open to residents at night on weekdays and all day on weekends, but is closed during the day on weekdays. This is because it is difficult to find student volunteers available during weekdays, so many residents stay on campus while the house is closed.
Residents are connected to local resources to help them find employment, save money, get mental health assistance, and find permanent housing.
Eligibility requirements:
- Must be enrolled at UC Davis
- Must be between the ages of 18-25
The online application can be found here.
Aggie House is open to residents and trained volunteers only. To contact the leadership team, please email aggiehousedavis@gmail.com.
