Rental Initiatives Supporting Education (R.I.S.E) Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program

Project Description: The City of Scottsdale seeks a qualified non-profit agency, defined as a “subrecipient” under 24 CFR 92.2, to administer a Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program that will provide financial assistance for monthly rental costs and case management to McKinney Vento Families who are Scottsdale residents identified through the Scottsdale Unified School District and with lawful presence in the United States. The City has allocated HOME ARP funding through the Maricopa County HOME Consortium to support the proposed TBRA program. The RISE program will allow for housing certificates as a rental subsidy to help individual households to acquire and maintain stable, affordable housing. The subsidy will be for one year (12 months), with a possibility of a second-year funding. The maximum time a participant may be on the program is two years (24 months). Households must meet the eligibility requirements identified in the program description.
