Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP)

CSC’s Emergency Services Program reports on their first year of an ARRA funded program to help those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless secure and maintain housing. The program is short-term rent assistance and helps people with move-in expenses or rent for one to three months.

Emergency Services:
Helped 282 homeless individuals get back into housing
Prevented 633 individuals from becoming homeless
Average assistance per person: $371

The majority of these individuals and families were still in stable housing upon leaving the HPRP program. Emergency Services spent an average cost of $371 per person.
