Effective July 1, New Housing Support Rate

On July 1, 2024, the Housing Support maximum monthly room and board rate will increase to $1,170.

The annual recalculation of the Housing Support, formerly Group Residential Housing (GRH), which covers rent and raw food for eligible participants, will increase by $35 per month. The new rate of $1170 will be effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.

Housing Support is a state-funded program that provides an income supplement to approximately 20,000 monthly recipients to pay for rent and food. The amount of a Housing Support payment is based on a federal and state standard of what an individual would need, at a minimum, to live in the community. All of those supported by the program are at risk of institutional placement or homelessness.
