The Housing Assistance Program will provide rental assistance to low income persons with a medical disability. The purpose of this program is to provide assistance to persons living in permanent housing, not to include halfway houses, transitional living facilities, substance abuse programs, or any other residence that could be considered temporary.

The Housing Assistance Program will in no way be responsible for any expenses owed by the participant. Obligations as set forth by the lease, rental agreement, or utility company will continue to belong to the participant. Participants are responsible for the portion of their expenses not paid by the Housing Assistance Program. Housing Assistance payments are made on behalf of the participant and are considered assistance only and may not be considered income.

Participants receiving Housing Assistance may not live in residences that are subsidized by other programs or entities (For example, Section 8).

Participants must provide the Housing Assistance Program with a copy of their lease or rental agreement prior to assistance beginning.
