Service area
Provides housing assistance for individuals and families with low income who include at least one adult with a serious mental illness while they wait for a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) or another rental subsidy. Eligible uses for Bridges funding include application fees, financial assurance/risk mitigation program fees, damage claims, rental assistance payments, security deposits, utility connection fees, and vacancy payments paid directly to the landlord on behalf of qualified participants.
The rental subsidy is temporary and is intended to bridge the housing gap between exiting institutions, segregated settings, supervised release, and homelessness to a permanent, affordable housing option.
