Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)

Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) is a government-funded program that helps individuals and families afford decent housing. It provides financial support, usually in the form of vouchers or subsidies, which tenants can use to rent apartments or houses in the private market. Instead of directly paying the landlord, the assistance often covers a portion of the rent, making housing more affordable. The goal is to give people flexibility to choose where they want to live while ensuring they can meet their rent obligations. TBRA aims to promote stable, affordable housing and prevent homelessness.
