Short-Term Rent, Mortgage, and Utility (STRMU) Assistance
This service offers short-term support for rent, mortgage, and utility payments to households facing a financial crisis due to their HIV health condition or unexpected economic challenges. STRMU assistance helps prevent homelessness by allowing individuals to stay in their current homes during difficult times.Permanent Housing Placement (PHP)
PHP provides support for households transitioning into permanent residences, covering necessary costs such as application fees, deposits, and the first month’s rent. PHP assistance is designed to help individuals and families secure stable, long-term housing.Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
TBRA offers an ongoing rental subsidy that allows eligible households to select a rental unit of their choice in the private housing market. This portable assistance covers the difference between the household’s calculated rent payment and the rent specified in their lease, helping individuals maintain permanent housing. TBRA also supports shared housing arrangements when applicable.
