Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool
The goal of the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool is to secure quality affordable housing for vulnerable people who are experiencing homelessness. This funding has a narrow focus which is to remove the final financial barrier for a client to be housed or to meet Housing Quality Standards. It provides the missing piece they need to get them across the finish line.
How to access PHS-FSHP Funding:
Things to remember:
- Individuals and Families must be on the CES referral list and prioritized for a housing intervention to receive FHSP assistance. PHS will notify CES of an FHSP request.
- Can be used in conjunction with other funding sources that do not cover requested costs.
- Clients need to be verified on HMIS.
- Requests must be submitted prior to move-in.
What FSHP can be used for:
- Moving Costs
- Rental Assistance
- Rental Application Fees
- Basic Needs (furnishings, etc.)
- Appliances to meet Housing Quality Standards
- Bridge Housing (rental assistance or hotel/motel when permanent housing is identified)
- Security Deposit(s)
- Utilities
Rental Assistance and Security Deposit(s) are available when rental subsidies are exhausted or unavailable through other providers.
