The County Rental Assistance Program (RAP) is a Montgomery County funded program to help low-income households meet their monthly ongoing rental expenses. A referral can be submitted if the head of household is currently working with a case manager such as: Emergency Shelter Case Manager, MoCo Diversion Worker, MoCo Housing Stabilization Worker, Rapid Rehousing Program Case Manager, or Outreach Worker.

The RAP waitlist is permanently discontinued, and as of July 1, 2021 there is new eligibility criteria as follows: a person must have a documented disability or be age 55 years of older; and, applicant must be experiencing homelessness or in imminent threat of homelessness.
