DC Department of Human Services

The Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program (FRSP), also commonly known as Rapid Re-Housing (RRH), is a time-limited housing and support designed to assist families experiencing homelessness – or at imminent risk of experiencing homelessness – to afford dignified and safe housing in the private market. Rental assistance and support services are provided for 12 to 18 months based on the needs of the household. FRSP is available only to families who are connected to another DHS program – like a shelter – after they are assessed and determined eligible by VWFRC.
