Rental Assistance*

Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP)

The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) helps District residents earning less than 40% of the Area Median Income (AMI) who are facing housing emergencies, by providing funding for overdue rent including late fees and court costs if qualified household is facing eviction. The program also supports security deposits and the first month’s rent for residents moving into new apartments. The amount paid on behalf of eligible households depends on a household’s income and available resources and is subject to certain limitations.

*HCS also offers specialized rental assistance programs for those living with HIV/AIDS.
