“Help overcome an immediate barrier to entering or maintaining housing. Rental assistance is provided for 1-18 months depending on the needs of the household. Rental assistance targets people who will likely not be able to move quickly into permanent housing without it. At a minimum, prevention resources are targeted to people who have extremely low incomes (below 30 percent of area median income), who have a demonstrated housing crisis (e.g. Request to vacate a dual household situation), and who lack protective factors, such as friends or family members who can help them. Homeless management information system (hmis) data or other data about homelessness in the community is assessed to identify additional factors that would help target resources to those most at risk of homelessness. Grants will average approximately 600, but depend greatly on the circumstances and the community. Diversion - hfth diversion programs attempt to prevent homelessness for people who are applying for shelter by helping people return to the housing they just left or move in with friends or family using financial incentives or mediation. If that situation cannot be made permanent, then the diversion program works to immediately locate other housing. The diversion programs typically involve one-time financial assistance and the offer of brief case management. Rapid re-housing - hfth re-housing programs work with people who are already homeless to help them quickly move into rental housing. Rapid re-housing programs tend to be short-term (1 - 12 months) and involve identifying affordable housing locations, financial assistance, and an offer of case management. Short-term rental assistance is provided when necessary. When serving people with significant disabilities or with very limited income capacity, the rapid re-housing programs coordinates with other community resources to ensure that participants are linked to ongoing assistance, such as housing vouchers, intensive case management, or assertive community treatment. Housing location - housing locators identify affordable housing and encourage landlords to rent to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. They also help negotiate reasonable rents and lease terms and work to address credit issues with a potential tenant. Housing locators are generally available to the landlord and tenant in case there are problems. Hfth partners with landlords who want these programs for their at-risk tenants.”
