A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I need help finding emergency housing or shelter.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Permanent Supportive Housing program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Washtenaw County residents experiencing homelessness or housing instability; some units require referral through local housing systems?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Contact the office during regular business hours; housing access guidance is provided by phone/email. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call or email to ask about housing access and how to connect through community referral pathways.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
