Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, funded through a New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) grant, provides temporary rental support to help households maintain stable housing while they wait for a HUD Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) to become available. TBRA is intended as a bridge—when a HUD voucher becomes available, participants are required to transition to the HUD program. Because TBRA subsidies can sometimes be higher than HUD assistance (especially in areas where local rents are below HUD Fair Market Rents), households may see an increase in their required rent contribution after the switch. Participants are expected to follow all program requirements and prepare for this transition, including planning for a higher share of rent once TBRA ends. Schoharie County Rural Preservation Corporation can provide participants with referrals to financial planning and counseling services to support budgeting and a successful transition.
