Rental Assistance
The nationwide shortage of targeted affordable rental housing is one of the most critical challenges faced by federal, state, and local policymakers. In recent years, states and communities have worked to match limited rental assistance resources with disabled and homeless households that face the greatest housing barriers and have the most significant supportive service needs. Such efforts have fostered increasing numbers of housing and human service agency partnerships and other innovative strategies.
