Homeless Rental Assistance Program (HRAP)

MESI's Homeless Rental Assistance Program aims to rapidly re-house households that are literally homeless, meaning individuals that are staying in the Caroline Peine Transitional Shelter or living in a place not meant for human habitation.  HRAP is possible through the Emergency Solutions Grant, formerly the Emergency Shelter Grant.  The Emergency Solutions Grant focuses on addressing the needs of people as they quickly transition from homelessness to stable housing. 

Types of assistance provided when funding is available are: rental and rental arrears, security deposits, and utility and utility arrears.  Households must be literally homeless and have no other housing options, financial resources, and support networks.  Case managers must document that clients can stabilize within a reasonable time frame, which usually requires households to have income great enough to support themselves financially once assistance is discontinued.
