Damage Mitigation Reimbursement Request

Housing Catalyst, as a Moving to Work (MTW) agency, has created a fund to reimburse property owners for the cost of tenant caused damages (minus the security deposit).


Damages must be documented and accepted by Housing Catalyst. The amount of compensation will not exceed the lesser of the cost of damages or two months contract rent. Housing Catalyst may charge these costs to the tenant as a condition for remaining in the program.
