Regional Housing Assistance Program (RHAP)

Stable housing is a health issue

Housing instability makes it harder for people to manage their health, keep appointments, and maintain access to care. RHAP addresses that directly by providing housing case management and short-term financial assistance to help individuals with a qualifying health condition find and keep stable housing.

RHAP serves clients across Northern Virginia, including Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, Falls Church, Loudoun County, Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park.

How we can help

Housing Case Management

Intensive, individualized support focused on housing stability — including identifying housing barriers, connecting clients to resources, and developing a plan for long-term stability.

Emergency Financial Assistance

Short-term financial assistance for clients facing an unexpected housing crisis. Types of assistance include:

• Rental assistance
• Mortgage assistance
• Utility assistance
• Security deposit
• First month's rent

Financial assistance is available on a short-term basis for qualifying emergencies. This program operates as a payer of last resort — clients must document that they have applied for assistance from other available sources before RHAP assistance can be considered.
