What is it?

• Rapid Rehousing Programs are designed to help individuals and families quickly exit homelessness and return to permanent housing.
• Rapid Rehousing can include short-term, future rental assistance bundled with services designed to help people experiencing homelessness obtain and remain housed and increase their overall level of self-sufficiency, all without preconditions.
• Participants enter a lease directly with landlords and typically pay 30% of their income as rent. The RRH programs cover the rest of the rent for a specified period of time, allowing the participant the ability to stabilize.

Eligibility Criteria:

• All referrals MUST originate via Coordinated Entry
• Initial referral from Coordinated Entry will determine key factors including Ocean County residency, homelessness, reported income, & evidence of an ability to sustain housing when assistance ends.
• The AHA administers a few different RRH programs funded by different sources with varying eligibility requirements, including income limits and rent payments.

Key Considerations:

• Placement is reliant on the availability of apartments within the community. A lack of available units can delay move-in. The Applicant and the AHA's RRH team must work closely together to identify eligible apartments.
• The AHA can provide certain incentives to landlords who participate in the program, including lumpsum payments. Interested landlords can contact RRH@housingall.org to participate.

How to Access Services:

• To access Rapid Rehousing services, an applicant must be referred through Coordinated Entry.
• Upon referral, a Rehousing Specialist will provide the applicant with the required forms and review the needed documentation to continue. A Rehousing Specialist may assist in completing these.
• When all applications, forms, and documents are received and reviewed, an eligibility determination is made.
• Once approved, the applicant will be entered into an appropriate program and begin working with AHA staff on their counseling and stability planning.
• Once a unit has been identified and the applicant moves in, Rehousing Stability Counselors continue to work through stability plans, financial coaching, and general assistance.
