ROSS Rapid Response Program

The ROSS Rapid Response Program (RRP) awards one-time assistance via a cost-reimbursable grant for service coordination and limited direct services for residents of HUD-assisted housing. The RRP utilizes a simplified application process to promote local leadership and flexibility in addressing urgent social needs caused by unanticipated emergencies. Examples of these emergencies can include but are not limited to: Natural disasters (e.g., wildfires or hurricanes) Public health crises (e.g., gun violence, community-level contamination or environmental hazards) Economic disruptions (e.g., closure of a major employment center that employs residents at the target site)
