Landlord Partnership Program

Congreso’s Housing Stability Case Management Programs work with individuals and families transitioning from emergency or transitional housing into stable housing. Landlords and property managers can play an important role by offering available rental units to households participating in the program.

Rent Standards

Congreso uses the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fair Market Rent (FMR) standards when determining allowable rental amounts for Rapid Rehousing. 

Rental units must meet program requirements and be reviewed by Congreso as part of the housing placement process. Units must also pass inspection. This comes at no cost to the property team.
