Housing Assistance
HPP’s Housing Assistance Program supports hundreds of families annually with housing resources, including limited, short-term financial assistance and application support. Through our housing workshops, we provide comprehensive education – explaining different housing subsidies and best practices that help families obtain and retain safe housing.
Receiving Housing Assistance
In addition to housing strategy and search support, we process rental assistance applications and make payments for back rent, security deposits, and first month's rent through the San Francisco Emergency Rental Assistance Program (SF ERAP). As an official provider, our eligibility rules and available funding vary; please review our most recent FAQ Housing Guide for details.
