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 Affordable Housing and Family Empowerment Program program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Income-based eligibility applies., City of Ypsilanti residents and other income-qualified households seeking YHC housing opportunities?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. administrative office hours. 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 administrative office or use the YHC website to ask about affordable housing, property-specific contacts, and program access.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
