How the Process Works

RHA partners with local organizations to provide supportive housing opportunities to individuals experiencing homelessness.

Applicants are referred by service providers who determine the household’s vulnerability (e.g. age, disability, veteran status). Households must meet income requirements consistent with HUD’s guidelines.

Eligible individuals may be offered a unit at one of the site-based PSH properties— receiving rental assistance through RHA’s Project Based Voucher program.
Service providers deliver ongoing case management, help residents connect with healthcare, benefits, and life skills supports to help maintain housing stability.
Residents have quarterly or annual check-ins. Any changes in income, household composition, or service needs are reviewed. Continued eligibility depends on meeting program obligations and income limits.
