RADH - Rent Assistance for Disabled Households
Rent, Security and Utility Deposit Assistance for qualifed disabled households.
The Rental
Assistance for Disabled Households (RADH) Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
program provides Rental Assistance and/or Deposit Assistance for Low Income Households who want to rent from a
private landlord (that is not a relative).
Under the RADH TBRA Program, participants are responsible for locating
the rental unit they want to rent within Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Dubuque city limits. Participants choose the type of housing they
wish to rent (i.e. house, duplex, apartment).
The participant’s portion of the rent is a minimum of 30% of their
adjusted monthly income. AHNI pays the
remainder of the contract rent to the private property landlord.
