Program Description

  Rapid Rehousing

Rapid Rehousing (RRH) is a program designed to help individuals and families quickly exit homelessness, return to housing in the community, and gain stability in that housing. The core components of a rapid rehousing program are housing identification, up to 24 months of rental assistance, case management, and employment services. The goal of the program is to help people obtain housing, increase income, and support self-sufficiency to stay housed. The Rapid Rehousing program does not have preconditions, such as employment or sobriety.

1  The Rapid Rehousing program is serving fewer clients because the temporary federal COVID-related housing funds previously awarded to the County have expired and challenges to housing location, placement, and rent increases have impacted the number of people served.
2  The decrease in positive exits to housing is due to the increasing needs and rent of people served. The program is increasing efforts to plan for and maintain a high percentage of exits despite limited resources.
