Community Schools Rental Assistance Program (CSRAP)

Program Funding Update

Thank you for your interest in the Community Schools Rental Assistance Program (CSRAP). At this time, the program has fully exhausted its current funding and is not accepting new applications.

Please check back soon for updates. An interest form will be posted shortly to help us gauge community need and advocate for additional state funding to support more families.

We appreciate your patience and continued interest in this program.

The Community Schools Rental Assistance Program (CSRAP) is a statewide Maryland initiative that provides emergency financial assistance to families with children enrolled in designated community schools who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

This program is designed to help families stay housed or secure new, stable housing by covering critical housing costs such as rent arrears, security deposits, or future rent payments. CSRAP serves as a vital safety net for students and families navigating housing instability by helping them avoid eviction, stabilize their living situation, and remain engaged in their school communities.

Whether a family is at risk of eviction, currently homeless, or struggling to afford a new rental unit, CSRAP exists to bridge the gap and ensure that children in community schools have a safe place to call home.
