About Home Tenant Based Assistance

• The Home TBA (Tenant Based Assistance) rental program is designed to serve households working toward self-sufficiency.
• The program assists with a rental subsidy, and provides case- management and referrals to other agencies and community resources.
• The household is required to sign a contract and work on a goal plan they help to create.
• The household must be very low- income.
• There are home visits and a mandatory Focus Group meeting once a month, giving  households education and information that can help them become more financial independence and self-reliance.

What is Home TBA ?

• The Home TBA program supports very low income households in Coos and Curry Counties with rental assistance, information, and referral while they work toward becoming self-sufficient.
• The program can assist with rental payments for a period of six months to one year, depending on the needs of the household and their willingness to work toward becoming self-sufficient.
• A case manager will work closely with you to define your strengths in order to help you become successful in your effort to reach and maintain self-sufficiency.
• Households not willing to work on their goal plan or who violate requirements and conditions of their assistance will be terminated from the program.

How long will it be before I receive assistance?

• All applicants will be placed on a waiting list.
• The length of time a household remains on the waiting list will depend on the preference points the household received and the order in which their application was received.
• The wait also will depend on the number of households the agency is able to serve based on availability of funds and case management services.
• There is no way we can determine how long a household will be on the waiting list.  Some households may remain on the list indefinitely.
• Households will receive a notice in the mail when they are eligible to recieve services from the Home TBA program.
