Rental Allowance Program (RAP)
The Rental Allowance Program, often referred to as RAP, is administered jointly by Frederick County Department of Social Services (FCDSS) and the Frederick County Department of Housing and Community Development. To apply contact Colleen Lewis at FCDSS at 301- 600-2619.

RAP provides rental assistance payments on a short-term basis (six months) to low-income families or individuals who have critical and/or emergency housing needs. The goal of RAP is to assist people to move into self-sufficiency by providing transitional assistance for a limited period.


Applicants must be financially eligible according to family size and gross annual income. Generally, the applicant may not have a gross annual income greater than 30% of the HUD-published area median income and must have a verifiable plan to increase income over the six months the program is in effect.
