What are the required screenings?
Each participant needs to fill out an application, provide photo ID, partake in an intake appointment, and do a background check. Home seekers also need to verify income.

How does Home Match verify income?
They ask for verifiable income that is at least twice the rent, or comparable savings.

Is there a fee to participate?
Home Match is offered at no cost to all participants. Front Porch receives funding from private foundations, government contracts, corporate sponsorships, and contributes significant financial resources to the program.
