Rental Assistance Program

Miami Valley Housing Opportunities manages the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rent subsidies for the City of Dayton and Dayton-Kettering-Montgomery County Continuum of Care (CoC). The Rental Assistance Program allows MVHO to assist 500 formerly homeless persons to live in independent housing.

Eligibility for the Rental Assistance Program requires that the person is considered homeless and disabled and receive ongoing community services related to the disability. All participants must meet the very low-income limits, 50% of the area median income, established by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and determined by household size. Participants can be classified as severely disabled due to mental health, substance abuse, or HIV. Other disabilities will be under consideration as long as the applicant meets all other eligibility requirements.

Eligible applicants must come from the Montgomery County Front Door referral process. The Front Door assessors are the Gettysburg Gateway for Men, Daybreak, the St. Vincent de Paul Gateway for Women and Families, and the YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter. If an applicant is not staying at one of the shelters but is living on the streets, that person must have an assessment completed by a PATH outreach worker.
