Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program 

The Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program (FRSP), also commonly known as Rapid Re-Housing (RRH), offers time-limited rental assistance and supportive case management to help families move from shelter to housing. 

Transitional Housing

Transitional housing programs are supportive housing programs that are temporary but designed to be an intermediate step between emergency shelter and permanent housing. 

Targeted Affordable Housing 

Targeted Affordable Housing (TAH) provides a permanent rental subsidy to households who need assistance obtaining and affording housing – often due to their age or a disabling condition. 

Permanent Housing Program 

Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is an evidence-based intervention that combines housing assistance through a permanent rental subsidy with voluntary supportive services to address the needs of chronically homeless individuals or families. 

Career MAP

The District’s Career Mobility Action Plan (Career MAP) is a groundbreaking pilot designed to remove barriers that families with low income confront as they pursue employment that can sustain their families.
