Renter Certification & Fair Housing (RCFH)
RCFH helps people leaving Washington’s prisons and jails to gain meaningful housing through communication training, connection to resources, and mediation services. We currently offer RCFH for people in Thurston, Mason, Grays Harbor, Pacific and Wahkiakum Counties​.
RCFH is a FREE skills-based education program offered in an online classroom setting.​​

In our 2-hour​ RCFH classes, you will:

Housing Support:
  • Learn about the basics of renting (e.g., rental contract, credit history) and your rights as a tenant. 
  • ​Develop a rental resume and budget. 

Communication and Conflict Resolution Skills:
  • Learn effective communication skills to improve conversations with your landlord (e.g., active listening, negotiating). ​
DRC trainings are highly interactive, collaborative, and engaging. Our strengths-based learning environment encourages students to share, explore, and learn from one another. We use many learning methods including lecture, demonstrations, and small group activities. The concepts, skills, and lessons we teach at the DRC are designed to improve communication, enhance relationships, and foster learning in all settings.​
