Eligible HPRP applicants may receive various types of assistance, including eviction prevention rental payment, rental deposit, short-term rental payment, credit counseling, utility deposit/payment, moving and storage costs and case management.
Case managers work closely with clients to develop and implement a service plan to ensure that they receive full benefits. Through HPRP, clients are stabilized in housing and assisted comprehensively to help ensure that they do not face homelessness again.
