“Dear Dory I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone at the Second Chance program for your help and support throughout this process. After facing so many challenges trying to find housing, your guidance and willingness to give people another opportunity truly made a difference in my life. I'm happy to share that I was approved for an apartment at Airie, and my move-in date is August 29, 2026. This opportunity means more to me than I can express.
After everything I've worked through, finally having a place to call my own is a huge milestone, and I couldn't have done it without your recommendation and support. Thank you again for everything you do to help people rebuild and move forward. Programs like yours truly change lives, and I'm incredibly grateful for the faith you placed in me. With sincere appreciation, Michael Stockton”

I agreed to a lease agreement with the person you spoke with, met with him in person a few times, and have received the unit keys from him. I have to thank you for your encouraging me to talk with him. The parking situation is less than ideal, but that was part of the deal.
Anyway, thank you again, Farah – know that you helped me a lot, along with the others you have helped, and will help in the future! Best wishes for you now and in your future! James”

My interactions with my case manager were good and Leyma was very informative. She was very accommodating and worked very efficiently and responded daily. Every need I had was met and every question I had was answered. I received my approval at just about 10-13 days after I got started and paid my fee.
I would definitely recommend Leyma to anyone in need of the program also I would definitely recommend the company overall and it was a good investment!! -Devin G”

“Hi, I wanted to update you. I have finally found an apartment that accepted me with slight conditions. The apartment community I chose was Courtney Cove Apartments, managed by BH Management Properties (LiveBH). They use the OneApp program, and their eviction and credit process goes through TransUnion Move. If nothing shows up there, anyone can be approved. Since my credit was still low, their security deposit starts at $400, and I had to pay $650.
But they had an additional program where a person can choose to pay only half the security deposit, and the program pays the other half. I want to thank you very much for all your hard work and patience. I really appreciate it !! I will definitely refer whoever needs help to your program. Thank you,”

I was able to send Sophie information back and forth from what I wanted to have in my new home to where I wanted to be located. Sophie started working quick to help me. She sent me leads and I sent her leads. To zipcodes and all the info that was needed to get the right home.
It took about 2-3 weeks for the process when we got a Green flag. I jumped on it and contacted the apartments, Cottonwood Dallas to be exact. Sent it all information and paperwork that was needed along with payment information and verifications. Today I was able to pick up the keys to my apartment, New Home! Super exited and Happy I would definitely recommend Sophie. She was great to work with. Stephanie”

I picked the small one bedroom, it has everything upgraded with a washer and dryer 1,080 per month. About 1,300 to move in on the 10th. Thank you so much! I gave Kathy your name when I paid the initial deposit. Testimonial from Orlando Robbins Review 10/10 Your immediate experience after signing up with Home Rental Helpers.
I felt the next steps and other communication was clear and upfront. Your interactions with your Case Manager, Sophie. Was she accommodating and efficient? Sophie was great, always responding quickly to any questions or concerns. It was great that I could open up to her to better understand how the process worked and both of our responsibilities. How responsive we were to your needs and concerns. 10/10 How quickly you received approval.
Quickly based on my situation, which definitely wasn’t stellar. I was doubtful in the beginning thinking that I may have wasted my money but she worked magic for me. Well worth the money. Would you recommend her? Definitely, in a heartbeat. Would you recommend our services overall? Yes, the company is legit and affordable.”

“I truly want to thank Ms. Esther from Second Chance Locators for helping me find a place to call home. Because of my background, finding housing hasn’t always been easy, and at times it felt discouraging. But Ms. Esther didn’t judge me or make me feel like my situation defined me. She treated me with kindness, patience, and understanding from the very beginning.
She took the time to listen to my situation and genuinely worked hard to help me find an apartment that would give my family and me a fresh start. Ms. Esther went above and beyond throughout the process, answering my questions and guiding me every step of the way. Thanks to her dedication and support, I was able to find a place for my family, and that means more to me than words can fully express.
I’m so grateful for her help and for Second Chance Locators for giving people like me an opportunity for a second chance. I highly recommend Ms. Esther to anyone who needs help finding housing and wants someone who truly cares.”

It was a swift process as it only took about a week to hear back from the property with the approval. This program was affordable and they did exactly as they stated—found somewhere for my family and I to live.

I still decided to go with Elite at Lakeview in College Park. I will keep you updated when everything is finalized. Thank you so much as you’ve been a great help! Best, Dishron”

“Esther, thank you so much for getting me through this process. While the experiences leading up to it were very overwhelming at times. You have allowed me to continue to trust the process. My immediate experience after signing up with Home Rental Helpers was straightforward and reassuring. The intake process was clearly structured, and I received prompt confirmation that my application had been received.
I appreciated the clarity around documentation requirements and next steps, which reduced uncertainty during a stressful time. Regarding approval, the turnaround time was quicker than I anticipated. Once all required documents were submitted, the review process moved efficiently, and I was notified of the decision without unnecessary delays. Communication throughout that period was consistent, so I was not left wondering about the status of my application.
In terms of responsiveness, the team was attentive to my questions and concerns. Emails and follow-ups were addressed in a timely manner, and when clarification was needed, explanations were thorough and easy to understand. I did not feel overlooked at any point in the process. My interactions with my Case Manager, Esther, were particularly positive. She was professional, accommodating, and efficient in coordinating next steps.
She demonstrated both subject-matter knowledge and empathy, clearly explaining the requirements while remaining mindful of the urgency of my situation. I would absolutely recommend working with her based on my experience. Overall, I would recommend Home Rental Helpers' services. The combination of organized processes, responsive communication, and supportive case management made a meaningful difference during a challenging period. Thank you, Esther, for all you do.

“Of course, I really appreciate the dedication and determination you had when you were assigned to me. Everyone involved was very communicative and answered all my questions. The process was very easy for me- all I had to do was apply to the place that was advised and I got approved within the same week. Thank you for everything you've done because of you I didn't have to do the heavy lifting and I could focus on other things.”

“Good morning Sophie, I wanted to let you know that I decided to go with Liberty Rent and I was approved! I should be able to move in by March 2nd. Thanks so much for all your help and for being so responsive throughout the process. I really appreciate it! Your immediate experience after signing up with Home Rental Helpers. – After signing up, I quickly received an email outlining the next steps.
Sophie contacted me soon after to review my questionnaire and sent a detailed PDF with listings that matched what I was looking for. Your interactions with your Case Manager, Sophie: Was she accommodating and efficient? – Yes, Sophie was both accommodating and efficient. She provided listings in my requested area and quickly sent additional options after I narrowed down my choices.
How responsive we were to your needs and concerns. – I was very satisfied with the responsiveness. When I decided to consider two additional locations, Sophie immediately sent updated listings and reached out to the property once I was ready to apply. How quickly you received approval. – I signed up on February 2nd and began reviewing listings the next day. I toured a property the weekend of February 13th and applied on February 16th.
Although I was initially denied, I was referred to Liberty Rent and approved on February 19th. The overall process moved quickly. Would you recommend her? – Yes, I would. She remained communicative throughout the process. Would you recommend our services overall? – Yes, I would recommend Home Rental Helpers. I’m happy with the service and the property I secured.”

“Hi Sophie, So sorry for my late response. My experience has been bliss from beginning to end! Starting with how fast I was contacted and how pleasant my case worker and initial associate I spoke with who thoroughly explained the process. The best part is that I was able to find a new home in the area I would like and got approve within less than a week. The whole process from start to finish was all less than 2 weeks.
My case worker was prompt in responses and communicated to exceptionally well! I have been struggling for years by spending way too much money and wasting time getting denied. So when someone told me about 2nd chance I jumped on it and I’m so glad I did! I was able to save time, money, and had a very pleasant professional experience.”
