01 / FOR LANDLORDS
Landlords love BOUND.
We partner with landlords so BOUND can support their struggling tenants — paid directly, no court, no churn.
Eviction Prevention · Est. 2021
Thoughtful eviction prevention,
before it starts.
BOUND partners with landlords to cover rental shortfalls and stabilize tenants who've hit a rough patch — keeping families housed and ledgers whole.
FIELD NOTE
When a tenant falls behind, eviction is rarely the cheapest answer. We just needed someone to do the math.

The Model
One intervention. Three audiences served.
BOUND sits between landlords, tenants, and donors — turning a crisis moment into a stability plan.
02 / FOR TENANTS
Tenants feel supported.
Instead of an eviction notice, tenants get their rental shortfall covered and their financial situation stabilized.
03 / FOR OUTCOMES
Long-term outcomes, measured.
We measure success on tenants continuing to be eviction-free after 12 months — not just on the day we cut a check.
How It Works
From referral to stability, in four steps.
A landlord submits a referral. BOUND reviews within 2–3 business days and pays the shortfall directly to the landlord, with a stability plan for the tenant.
01
Landlord submits referral
Property, tenant, and shortfall details. ~10 minutes.
02
BOUND reviews & verifies
We confirm the situation with both parties and assess fit.
03
Direct payment to landlord
Funds wired straight to the landlord on behalf of the tenant.
04
Stability planning with tenant
Budgeting, benefits navigation, and ongoing check-ins.
The Numbers
What we're doing today — and where we're headed.
We're early. The three figures below are what we're already achieving on every referral. The fourth is the long-term outcome we're building toward.

The Goal
80%
— STILL HOUSED @ 12 MONTHS
The number we're building toward.
We don't measure success the day a check clears — we measure it 12 months later, when the tenant is still housed, current on rent, and out of the eviction pipeline. We aren't there yet, but it's the bar we're holding ourselves to as we grow.
