Our rapid re-housing program helps people experiencing homelessness move quickly from emergency shelters, bridge housing, or the streets into housing. Rapid re-housing funds are flexible, offering short-term and medium-term rental subsidies, security deposits, utility assistance, or other start-up costs to individuals who need support securing housing.
