RentWise is an empowering, research-based educational program designed to help individuals and families become informed, confident, and successful renters.
Through hands-on lessons and real-life conversations, participants learn essential skills such as budgeting for rent and utilities, understanding lease agreements, communicating effectively with landlords and neighbors, and maintaining a safe, clean living space.
Whether someone is renting for the first time, rebuilding after housing instability, or navigating a new chapter in life, RentWise meets them with practical tools and compassionate guidance. The program fosters confidence and clarity, helping people take control of their housing journey, avoid common rental pitfalls, and build a path toward long-term stability.
More than just a class, RentWise is part of our larger commitment at the Center for People to reduce barriers, restore dignity, and support each person’s journey toward a more secure and empowered future.
“When I come to the Center, I get family. In class, I make new friends. The Center has done so much for me, and I’m so happy.
