Practical Help From CIS
You can ask for help at any stage: while searching, preparing for a move or trying to keep your current housing stable.
Talk Through Your Housing SituationBefore We Talk

- A safe way for CIS to contact you
Start with the general situation. Do not send identification documents, immigration records or detailed lease disputes by ordinary email or text. Staff will explain what is needed and how to provide it.
