The CHDO Assistance Program provides set aside funds for designated non-profit organizations to develop, sponsor, or manage affordable housing activities as required by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
TBRA assists families successfully exiting a homeless shelter by making up the difference between actual permanent housing costs and what a family can afford to pay.

In order to be considered eligible for Tenant Based Rental Assistance, applicants must be currently living in a homeless shelter in Terrebonne Parish, have a written recommendation letter from a managing officer of the shelter, working a minimum of 30 hours per week and have a total household income that does not exceed 60% of median income as determined by the Department of Housing Urban Development.
