The purpose of this program is to help prevent homelessness. The program provides emergency assistance to an individual or family facing eviction or transitioning from our Emergency Shelter program into permanent housing.
The rental assistance is a one-time payment made directly to the landlord for people who cannot pay their rent due to a personal emergency or a situation beyond their control.
