How can a household find a qualifying apartment under the SEPS program?

The option regarding a housing specialist and case manager is the correct choice because these professionals are specifically trained and knowledgeable about the SEPS (Supportive Employment Program Services) program and its qualifying criteria for apartments. They can provide tailored support, guidance, and resources for households seeking suitable housing options. They have access to listings and insights into the housing market that may not be as readily available to the general public.

In contrast, contacting a real estate agent might not ensure that the agent is familiar with the specifics of the SEPS program, potentially leading to misalignment with the program's requirements. Using social media posts lacks the structured support and specificity that a housing specialist or case manager offers; it may result in unreliable or unverified leads. Similarly, obtaining legal aid may assist in legal matters relating to housing but does not directly provide the resources needed to find a qualifying apartment within the SEPS framework. Thus, working with a housing specialist and case manager is the most effective approach for navigating the SEPS program’s housing requirements.
