State program for homeless teens as tenants?
We received an inquiry on one of our rental properties from an agent. He said he represented a non-profit organization who is partnered with the state to provide housing for homeless teens. The state would pay the rent, commit to a 3-year lease and cover any repairs under $500. There would be up to 2 teens per bedrooms (so 6 teens in a 3br house), and an adult social worker would be there to supervise 24/7.
Has anyone ever rented to such a program? Thoughts on pros/cons? Six teens is a lot in one house, but they would have full-time adult supervision. This is through the Department of Family & Children Services, not Dept of Corrections. So sounds like abandoned kids, not juvenile criminals.
