The HEN program assists people who qualify through the Department of Social & Human Services and who have been determined to be temporarily unable to work due to a mental health or physical health issue. This program is for single individuals only. The program can provide support in the form of rent assistance, as well as personal hygiene products and cleaning supplies. There are no cash benefits available. Hotel/Motel Rental Agreements in Allowable Rent Assistance: Grantees may use HEN funds to pay for rent per a rental agreement with hotel/motels for temporarily housing people who are homeless. The hotel/motel room should be considered a short term measure while a more permanent housing solution is identified. The cost should be close to the budgeted amount grantees determined for homeless rents. Documentation that must be provided by the client: Rental Agreement Lease Certification from friend/family of a payment obligation Pay/Vacate Notice Eviction Notice Certification from friend/family of potential eviction
