National rent relief infrastructure

Rent relief that arrives before the eviction does.

Stable Home Fund makes zero-interest loans to families behind on rent, and runs complete relief programs for governments and funders. The same infrastructure now stands behind some of the most effective aid programs in the country.

10,000+ families served 46 states + Washington, D.C. 0% interest, $0 fees

3.6 million eviction cases are filed in the U.S. every year. Most are preventable for less than the cost of the filing.

For renters

Behind on rent? We can help this week.

A zero-interest loan covers your back rent and gets paid directly to your landlord, often within hours of approval. 0% interest and $0 fees on every loan, and you repay when you are back on your feet.

Why we exist

A stable home is built from many pieces.

Rent is the keystone, but stability depends on everything around it. When one piece gives way, the whole home is at risk. It usually starts with something as ordinary as a car repair or a hospital bill.

Eviction filings now run more than 50% above pre-pandemic levels. Early intervention is the cheapest fix in housing.

Keystone

Housing

Rent is the keystone. Zero-interest loans stop an eviction before it ever reaches a courthouse.

Food

No family should have to choose between the rent and the groceries.

Transportation

The car that gets you to the job that pays the rent.

Medicine

One emergency room bill should not cost a family their lease.

Security

A deposit, a working lock, and a lease in your own name.

Emergencies

A $400 surprise can start the whole spiral. We catch it early, while it is still small.

What we run

One organization, from a single loan to a citywide program

Whether you are a family eleven days from a court date or a county with a relief budget to move, the delivery system is the same.

01

Emergency rent relief

Zero-interest loans for families facing eviction, with most decisions back in hours and payment sent straight to the landlord. Repayment starts when the household is steady again, and never includes interest or fees.

Approvals in 4 hours, not 45 days

02

Program administration

Cities, counties, and funders bring us a budget and a goal. We build the application, review every case, move the money on real-time rails, and hand back reporting that stands up to an audit.

Serving families in 46 states + D.C.

03

Landlord partnerships

Owners and property managers get paid on time and keep good tenants in place. An eviction filing costs everyone more than the back rent it chases.

1,000+ properties nationally

For families

How it works when you need help

No waiting rooms, no paper piles, and no wondering where your application went.

  1. Apply in minutes

    The application works on any phone or computer, in more than 50 languages. If you have your lease and a past-due notice, you have what you need.

  2. Get a decision in hours

    A trained reviewer looks at every application. Most families hear back the same day, not next month.

  3. Rent goes straight to your landlord

    We pay the property directly, so the debt is settled and the eviction stops. You repay the loan over time at 0% interest, with no fees, once you are back on your feet.

Approvals in 4 hours, not 45 days

What staying home looks like

I was eleven days from a court date when I applied. The loan covered two months of back rent, my landlord was paid that same week, and my kids never found out how close it got. I finished repaying it this spring, and it cost me exactly what I borrowed.

For partners

How a program launches

From a signed agreement to the first payment, most partner programs are live in days. There is no software to procure and no build phase, because the infrastructure already exists.
