Adopt-A-Family's Service Enriched Housing (SEH) is a residential program comprised of families earning less than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines, who are on the path to home ownership.
The program consists of 28 two-bedroom apartment units located adjacent to the agency's Family Resource Center in Lake Worth. Rent is calculated at 30% of gross income, but families residing in SEH pay a base rent of $500, while depositing the remainder of the 30% into an escrow account. The residents then use their escrow account to clean up their credit or save for a down-payment for a home.
Originally a two-year transitional housing program, Service Enriched Housing has operated as a permanent housing program for the last two years. This change reflects the difficulties that were encountered in finding suitable housing for families exiting the program after two years.
