The immigration program is the one whose eligibility criteria are listed here. The eligibility criteria for the immigration program are different from eligibility criteria for some of the housing and shelter programs.
For emergency/short term housing help an individual/family must provide proof of homelessness to qualify for RRH funds or be under eviction and not exceed income limits for HP funds. If not a US citizen, must be a "qualified alien".
Transitional and long-term housing require individual or family to FIRST participate in Basic Needs Program emergency shelter/assistance. ALSO requires chronic homelessness and that the individual or head of household have a disabling condition. Disabling condition includes substance abuse disorder, a serious mental illness, developmental disability, or a chronic physical illness or disability.

Our diverse programming model embodies its mission, “to help those in need,” with services designed to reach out to those facing socioeconomic, cultural and racial barriers that preclude their engagement in mainstream services.
The mission of Catholic Social Services responds to those who face various forms of oppression and injustice.
