Sustainable Housing Assistance Rental Program (SHARP)
Sustainable Housing Assistance Rental Program (SHARP)
The Sustainable Housing Assistance Rental Program provides temporary financial support with the goal of increasing housing stability and improving health for people living with HIV/AIDS. SHARP will provide assistance to individuals with high rent burden, defined as those paying more than 40% of monthly gross income on rent. The program will provide eligible households with a flat rate subsidy equal to 40% of the current HUD Fair Market Rent (FMR) of the county of residence per month to help client pay rent. SHARP intends to reduce rent burdens, incentivize household savings, and address individual barriers to ensure future housing stability among participants.
