Strategy S-3-C: Develop a network of service providers prepared to step in when tenants with Section 8 are at risk of losing their housing assistance. Strategy S-3-0: Increase the service systems' capacity for increasing tenancy skills for housing search, dealing with a poor credit history, and maintaining housing through the use of individualized counseling and group trainings.
