The Living Room Cafe accepts walk-ins and referrals of qualified applicants from many social service organizations. To qualify, applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:

• Individuals and families who are homeless.
• Individuals and families who are at-risk of homelessness with factors including:
  - Received a late rent payment notice or an eviction notice
  - Unemployment
  - Underemployment
  - Low income/insufficient income to meet family needs
  - Inadequate/unaffordable housing
  - Overcrowded housing
  - Dilapidated housing
  
• No recent history of violence.
• Proof of being drug- and alcohol-free for 30 days
• Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
• Individuals and families must show a commitment to changing their lives and becoming self-sufficient

Once a referral is made, a case manager will then call within a day to set up an intake appointment for the client. During the intake appointment, the case manager will discuss the details of the Cafe program and the goals of the client. If the client meets the eligibility requirements and wants to become a guest, they will be taken into the program, provisionally, until the case manager receives results from a drug test.
