Financial Assistance
WV Domicile recognizes housing as a human right and will do everything within its power to work with government and non-profit organizations which promote housing opportunities and provide financial assistance to those in need.
If you are renting from WV Domicile and are not going to be able to make your next rent payment, call as soon as you know. If you don't, we will have to assume you are trying to avoid your responsibility and we will be forced to begin eviction proceedings. You don't want that. We don't want that. Help may be available if you act early.
