Housing Stability - Start Here
A short route map for people in Maine when rent, eviction pressure, or staying housed is the immediate problem.

Use this order
- Start with established housing and eviction-prevention doors first.
- Gather any lease, notice, payment history, or communication related to the housing problem.
- If family-court pressure overlaps with the housing problem, use the family hub after the immediate housing doorway is clear.

What to have nearby
- Lease or tenancy paperwork.
- Any late notice, eviction notice, or written communication from a landlord.
- A basic timeline of missed payments, notices, or housing-related deadlines.
- Any support-order or family-case document that affects where a child is staying.

Best use of the site
- Use the housing-help lane for direct resource links.
- Use the family-court prep checklist when the housing issue overlaps with an upcoming hearing or filing.
- Use the dashboard and sources later if you need the system-level record explaining why housing pressure matters to family stability.
