A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling about rental assistance or eviction prevention.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Senior Housing Counseling and Eviction Prevention program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Washtenaw County adults age 55+ and caregivers seeking housing support?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Monday-Friday business hours; call for appointments and current programming. 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 the Housing Bureau for Seniors for housing counseling, eviction prevention, or foreclosure prevention guidance.
Thank you so much for your help.
