While this page lists resources and services that may help residents, staff does not conduct an in depth review of the programs. Residents should contact the resource provider directly to learn more about each program. RHA cannot guarantee that individuals will qualify to receive these services or that services are compatible with RHA housing programs. In the event that a program or resource requires action from RHA, the Agency reserves the right to determine whether or not to collaborate and may decline resources or programs that operate in a way that would interfere with mandatory or statutory program requirements.
