Rental Assistance Grants (2026)
Rental assistance funding helps community organizations keep households housed — covering rent, security deposits, and tenant-based subsidies that bridge the gap between what a family can pay and what the market charges. These programs are a core eviction-prevention and re-housing tool for the nonprofits that administer them.
