  • HandUp Program

    St. Robert Bellarmine's HandUp Program provides spiritual, motivational, and financial aid and support to help families obtain rentals in the Kansas City area. The mission of HandUp is to:

    • Assist families that are living in area hotels or temporarily living with family members to obtain apartment rentals
    • Assist families that are in a transition to obtain apartment rentals
    • Assist families that are on the brink of eviction to avoid eviction
    • Work with families that we have assisted moving forward with financial counseling and other support as desired

    Families that are trying to re-establish rental status often have difficulty in coming up with utility payments, utility deposits, rental deposits and the first month's rent. HandUp provides financial assistance to qualifying families to help them get past the hurdles they face in obtaining a rental. We can also assist with furniture and furnishings from church donations if needed.

    Financial assistance is dependent upon analysis of the family's future income relative to their rental expenses. While financial and furnishing assistance is why most families contact us, HandUp can also provide assistance and advice with:

    • Resume' Creation and Improvement
    • Job Search and Placement
    • Improving Credit History and Scores
    • Budgeting
    • Financial related matters
    • Rental Search
    • Other areas as needed

    Someone outside of our program once described what we do as "Intensive Case Management" which is actually a very good description - we help families with whatever they need help with.

    Below you will find success stories and some testimonials about our program:
