DMHRSP Team,
The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) continually strives to improve our rental assistance programs in partnership with administering agencies and service providers. We appreciate and have incorporated the considerable input we received regarding the Department of Mental Health Rental Subsidy Program (DMHRSP) during the numerous feedback sessions earlier this year. In partnership with DMH, we will implement the following program improvements to be effective as of February 1, 2024:
- Positive Identification and Vital Documents
- Income and Asset Verifications and Calculation
- New Forms
- Failure to Recertify
- Holding Payment
Please see links below for the DMHRSP FY24 Guidance Update Notice and new forms. All guidance and training documents are available at our State Rental Assistance Training Webpage. All program documents and forms are available at the LHA Portal/RAA Portal.
Please register for a mandatory training session regarding these important program changes on Thursday 1/18 at 9-11:30am or Monday 1/22 at 9-11:30am. All the sessions are the same and you only need to attend one. Staff from each administering agency and service provider must attend and we strongly encourage that your full DMHRSP staff attend. Let us know if you have any accessibility needs. For reference, materials and recording will be posted afterwards on our State Rental Assistance Training Webpage.
