Rapid Re-Housing – **CURRENTLY DISCONTINUED**

**PLEASE NOTE: The Rapid Rehousing Program has been discontinued at this time due to funding cuts.**

The Rapid Rehousing Program provides families with children temporary, tailored financial and housing stabilization services that will enable families to quickly locate and become self-sufficient in their own housing. This program is for families who will quickly be able to get a job, but need a short period of assistance to bridge the gap while the housing lease is in their name.

Rapid Re-housing Program families can receive support for moving costs, security deposits, rental and utility assistance, and case management. As with all our other programs, payments are made directly to landlords, utility companies or other vendors, not to the participants.

The Rapid Re-Housing case manager assists the family with re-location to permanent housing, creation and/or modification of a plan to address housing stability, and consultation regarding transition and progress. After three months, each household is re-assessed for eligibility to continue in the program. The average length of assistance for each household is 9-12 months.
