Description: A single missed rent payment can sometimes mean the difference between stable housing and homelessness. In 2017, the DC Department of Human Services (DHS) began a pilot program that gives families a flexible source of funds to help cover housing costs. We are testing whether the program’s flexible nature has an impact on homelessness, housing instability, and economic well-being. We expect the results to inform decisions about the design and expansion of this pilot and whether to bring more flexibility to other existing housing assistance programs.
