Rental Assistance Programs are designed to help individuals and families who struggle to pay their rent. These programs provide financial support to cover a portion of the rent, making housing more affordable. They are often funded by government agencies, non-profit organizations, or community groups, and eligibility typically depends on income level and other factors. Participants in these programs may receive direct payments to their landlords or vouchers that can be used to reduce their rent. Housing Choice Vouchers and Emergency Rental Assistance are common types of assistance. These programs aim to prevent homelessness and promote stable living conditions for those in need.
