Resident Opportunity Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) Rapid Response Program Funding

This funding opportunity, part of the Resident Opportunity Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) program, specifically targets the Rapid Response Program (RRP). Its purpose is to address urgent challenges that require immediate attention or new/expanded service provision for residents living in HUD-assisted housing who have been impacted by unforeseen events. The program aims to support one-time assistance for service coordination and direct services for these residents. It emphasizes local leadership and flexibility in responding to urgent social needs arising from unanticipated emergencies. Such emergencies can encompass natural disasters like wildfires or hurricanes, public health crises such as gun violence or environmental hazards, widespread traumatic events, or significant economic disruptions like the closure of a major local employer.
