The Landlord Liaison Project (LLP) addresses the critical need of finding affordable housing for clients of Matt Talbot who are given a high priority on the city-wide housing list. MTKO cannot take calls from the public to assist in finding housing. We use the coordinated entry system to determine who our housing clients will be and only take on new clients if there are openings. Through this project Matt Talbot staff build constructive relationships with landlords to facilitate rapidly locating stable and safe permanent housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
