The Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program is a new affordable housing program serving low-income families across the country. EHV helps families locate rental housing and provides financial assistance to make their rent affordable. HACR began accepting referrals for the EHV Program from the Riverside County Coordinated Entry System and Victim Services Providers on October 4, 2021, and is authorized to serve up to 354 families.
Families must be low-income and meet at least one of the following categories:
- Homeless
- At risk of being homeless
- Fleeing or attempting to flee:
- Domestic violence;
- Dating violence;
- Sexual assault;
- Stalking; and/or
- Human trafficking
- Recently homeless, and rental assistance will prevent a return to homelessness or high risk of housing instability.
The EHV program does not use a waiting list to admit individuals and families. Instead, individuals and families will be referred to HACR through the Riverside County Coordinated Entry System (CES) or a victim service provider (VSP) with whom HACR has a referral partnership. *HACR cannot accept applications directly from individuals and/or families.
