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 Accessibility Ramp Program program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Washtenaw County residents needing accessibility ramp support for safer home entry?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Monday-Friday business hours; call for current funding availability. 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 county office to ask about ramp-program eligibility and application steps.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
