Victims’ Intervention Program’s rapid rehousing programs are federal programs funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and designed to provide short and medium-term rental subsidies and supportive services to survivors of domestic violence. Following a housing first model, program participants of VIP Rapid Rehousing programs are encouraged to accept supportive services offered by us and our community partners; but participation in supportive services is not a requirement to receive a subsidy. Program participants are encouraged to work towards greater stability by working closely with their Housing Advocate to develop short and long-term goals. Housing Advocates assist participants with housing-related needs such as communicating with the participant’s landlord. Housing Advocates also assist participants in connecting with community resources to ensure access to treatment, job training, or other social services.

All participants of the RRH project must meet the eligibility criteria set forth by HUD and must be a survivor of domestic violence. Program participants may find their units within our service area, as long as the units pass a housing quality inspection and meet fair-market rent guidelines for the county.
