BEFORE YOU CALL THE HOMELESS COALITION
PRELIMINARY STEPS THAT MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE YOU CALL THE HOMELESS COALITION:
STEP ONE Contact the Department of Human Services (DHS) and obtain a written decision notice
stating the reason for their denial. If necessary, you may request an HDC volunteer
service for assistance with filling out any DHS forms. You must bring the denial letter
with you to your appointment with the Homeless Coalition. A Coalition volunteer may
verify your situation with the caseworker. STEP TWO Contact the Human Development (HDC). If needed you may request an
outreach worker for assistance with filling out any HDC forms. Ask for copies
of your applicaiton from HDC (and DHS) – This information will speed up the
process of your request when you call the TUSCOLA HOMELESS COALITION
for an appointment. STEP THREE The two preceeding steps should make available some of the basic information the
Coalition will need to review your situation. Have the copies in front of you when
you call the Coaltion for an appointment. Call the TUSCOLA HOMELESS COALITION at 989.672.7674 A volunteer will return your call - usually within 2 - 3 days and discuss your situation
verifying your completion of Steps 1 - 3 prior to arranging an interview. Most of the information you provided to HDC and DHS will help with the phone
interview so please have it ready when you call. Additional information will be requested such as: • Name, address, and phone number of landlord/mortgage company;
• Verification of income (pay-stubs, W-2’s, or tax returns);
