Back to: Finding Your Place: Overcoming Barriers in Rental Housing

  Research rental assistance programs: Look into rental assistance programs in your area that may be able to provide financial support or connect you with affordable housing options. Examples of rental assistance programs include Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP).

If you are interested in exploring rental assistance programs, one valuable resource to utilize is your local housing authority. The housing authority is a government agency that is responsible for overseeing affordable housing programs and can provide information and assistance to individuals seeking rental assistance.
