RCAP

What is RCAP?

Cash Assistance That Helps Formerly Homeless People Stay Housed

RCAP is Abode's Rapid Rehousing Cash Assistance Program that gives cash assistance for a year to people who have experienced homelessness, paying for essentials and helping people stay in their homes. This direct and flexible support helps individuals and families address immediate financial challenges, avoid future crises, and remain on a path toward long-term stability.

Why RCAP is Effective

A little extra money can go a long way. For many households, homelessness starts with a series of financial challenges that become impossible to overcome alone. RCAP prevents another crisis from causing homelessness, while helping people get back on their feet. Learn from housing experts on how evidence-based solutions like housing and cash assistance provide economic stability and strengthen communities.

How RCAP Works

In contrast to similar programs, RCAP empowers Abode’s rapid rehousing participants to decide how funds can best support their stability. RCAP may be used for essentials including rent, food, and childcare. By preventing housing instability, RCAP’s benefits go beyond individual needs, contributing to healthier communities and reducing costs associated with homelessness. Learn how RCAP helps individuals and communities do better.

Behind Every Statistic is a Story.

Hear directly from RCAP participants as they share their experiences with homelessness and how rapid rehousing and RCAP support are helping them rebuild stability and move toward lasting success.

So many survival stories stem from a systemic failure.
RCAP lifts neighbors who fall through the cracks—
because strong communities need strong support.
