Eiros Commitment to Assisting Individuals Find Housing

As the State of New Jersey continues to find solutions for the housing insecurity among

the neurodiverse and individuals with disabilities, Eiros is intensifying its efforts to train and

develop their Support Brokers with in-depth knowledge of the avenues available to access fair

and affordable housing for their customers.


Do you recall the excitement and anticipation of getting your first apartment? Well, Noah Schlitt, an Eiros customer, is feeling that excitement. As a customer that recently benefited from team Eiros’s training, Noah had the opportunity to apply for a one bedroom apartment as the recipient of a housing voucher. The paperwork was tedious, but he worked through each step from application, addressing possible credit challenges and understanding security deposits.


Noah, you worked hard and independence is right around the corner.


If you know of someone who is interested in learning more about the Housing process, join us for our upcoming Lunch & Learn Housing Seminar on June 27th in Willingboro!
