Rapid Rehousing, also known as the Family Stabilization and Rehousing Program (FRSP), is a time limited housing subsidy with case management program that helps families who have experienced homelessness get access to resources and work on goals in order to increase housing stability. Families rent apartments throughout the city and work with case managers on their housing stability, employment, and/or education goals, and also work to get connected to community resources that will help them maintain stability after the subsidy ends. Community of Hope’s Rapid Rehousing program serves up to 400 families at any time.
Families are referred to Rapid Rehousing through either Short- Term Family Housing or Homelessness Prevention.
