2.8 Designing Rent Subsidy Programs: Lessons Learned
HPRP has allowed communities to structure rent assistance to meet the needs of individuals and families facing homelessness. This workshop will examine the variety of rental assistance strategies used, including declining rental assistance subsidies and tailoring rental assistance based on individualized assessments. The workshop will also feature discussion about the use of progressive engagement that employs ongoing assessment of household needs to determine the types and levels of rental assistance needed. Creative partnerships to provide rental subsidies to underserved homeless populations, including homeless youth and survivors of violence, will also be explored.
