The Rental Assistance Program (RAP) is an emergency housing initiative that exists to help prevent homelessness. Clients may apply for financial assistance to pay a security deposit, first month's rent, or rent delinquencies. Households with children may be eligible for up to $1000 within a 24 month period, while households without children may be eligible for $750 within a 24 month period, depending upon meeting program eligibility guidelines.
