Have you ever rented to a person involved in a Family Independence Agency run by the state?

In Michigan, we have a Family Dependence Agency which helps people in distress find suitable homes and jobs. They pay for the security deposit and first month's rent. Thereafter, the tenant must pay rent on their own. 

I have concerns about working with one of these types of organizations because I'm not sure what the likelihood of paying rent will be once the renter is on their own. 

Have you ever rented to someone involved in one of these types of programs? Did it result in a good tenant? 

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
