The Rent Supplement Program is a State-funded program. It helps eligible families pay part of their monthly rent. Each family must pay at least 30% of their adjusted family income for rent. The difference between that amount and the total monthly rent, up to a maximum of $250.00 per month, is paid directly to the owner or his agent. The rental unit is inspected to determine that it is a standard unit.
