Rental Assistance

Watch this 18-minute video for a comprehensive overview of rental assistance. This video is intended for staff new to the CoC Program and/or whom are administering rental assistance.

Please note that an important program change has been made since this video was published: Nonprofit organizations now have permanent authority to administer rental assistance awarded through the CoC Program for PH only. TH projects are still required to have a state, local, government, or Public Housing Authority (PHA) administer the rental assistance.

Review the slides from this video.
