One-Time Assistance
RAP one-time assistance (OTA) is provided to (1) prevent eviction and re-establish housing stability; and/or (2) assist households to move into safe and affordable rental housing. This assistance is intended to help households who have adequate resources to rent on their own once they have been assisted. Therefore, assisted households must, in practice, have stable income where rent and utilities do not exceed 50% of their income, and/or a permanent housing voucher such as a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher.
**The Department of Mental Health one-time Rental Assistance Program (RAP) is not associated with any of the COVID-19 relief funding. RAP is for DMH clients when they find themselves in need of one-time assistance for housing stability.
