Introduction The purpose of the State Rental Assistance Program (SRAP) is to assist low-income individuals who are eligible to receive supportive services and require affordable housing to live safely and independently in the community.

Program Goals Provide rental subsidies to program participants who require, and have access to continuing home- and community-based services Establish partnerships with state agencies and community service providers Move individuals out of state-run long-term care facilities and into home- and community-based care programs Transition program participants to financial self- sufficiency or to other affordable housing resources

Populations Served Clients exiting state-supported and privately run long-term care facilities Youth aging out of foster care Families for whom the lack of affordable housing is a barrier to reunification Individuals at-risk of requiring services from or being admitted to a state-supported institution DSAMH clients identified as target populations in the USDOJ Settlement with the State of Delaware
