Homelessness Prevention And Rapid Re-Housing Program

In 2009, the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) launched a cutting-edge homeless prevention program called Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP). The three-year, $5.7 million federal program targets families in danger of becoming homeless as a result of the economic downturn. Through payments to their landlord for security deposits, back rent, and rent subsidies eligible families can receive up to 12 months of assistance. SDHC is administering the funds on behalf of the City of San Diego, which received a one-time grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the federal American Recovery & Reinvestment Act.
