The District of Columbia provides several forms of rental assistance to low-income tenants to promote housing stability and to avoid potential displacement through eviction. The agencies administering rental assistance are the DC Housing Authority and the Department of Human Services. C100 focuses on the effectiveness of these programs at preventing homelessness and providing support, such as counseling and social services, for residents as they move into more stable housing.
