Our Programs

Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA):

The Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program provides the poorest and most-in-need individuals with housing assistance. Qualifying tenants are assisted with rental payment, security deposits, and utility reimbursement. The program targets homeless households with income at or below 30 percent of the Area Median Income. Participants are required to pay a minimum of 30 percent of income toward housing costs. Up to two years of assistance are provided to individuals and families who meet the program criteria. TBRA also helps residents lead more stable and meaningful lives by offering the opportunity to gain training, employment, and needed services.

Specific efforts are focused on domestic violence, youth, the chronically homeless, and families with children. Interested applicants can obtain more information about this program from their local Continuum of Care, or by visiting the MSHDA Web site.
