SMOC Rental Assistance Programs

SMOC RAP

SMOC Rental Assistance provides rental subsidies to income eligible families in 37 communities. Each month designated payments are made on behalf of tenants directly to their landlords. Rental assistance vouchers allow families to rent in the private market and apply a subsidy to their rent. With this assistance, residents are able to pay approximately 30-40 percent of their income toward rent, with SMOC RAP paying the remainder.
