Welcome Message

Welcome to the PATH RPSS Online Program Application!

We’re excited to work with you and your participant to help you find available housing units.

Here’s how the process works:

  1. Complete the Online Application: Fill out this application to be pre-approved for all RPSS units.
  2. Approval Notification: You will hear back from RPSS within 2 weeks to confirm if the participant is approved to start viewing RPSS units. This is a program approval and not a unit approval.
  3. Contact or Wait for Invitation: Once approved, contact the RPSS team member listed on the flyer, or wait up to 2 weeks to receive an invitation to a Safe Open House.
  4. Attend the Viewing: At the open house, if the participant likes the unit, you will receive an Intent to Rent Letter or a Mock Lease by the end of the day to secure the unit. Please use the Intent to Rent to submit a TLS referral or let RPSS know right away if another form is needed to show proof for securing the apartment.

Important Notes:

Once an Intent to Rent Letter or Mock Lease is received, the unit will no longer be shown. Per our agreement with RPSS owners, agencies must act quickly to secure payment for tenant move-in. Please provide daily updates after an intent to rent is issued to ensure timely leasing. Notify RPSS immediately if there are delays or if securing payment is expected to take more than two weeks.

If move-in will take over 2-4 weeks, pay the owner’s invoice, schedule the PHA unit inspection for vouchers, and maintain communication with RPSS. RPSS may move to another candidate if communication lapses or payment is delayed beyond a month.

If none of these are possible, we will void the Intent to Rent/Mock Lease, release the unit and move to the next approved applicant.

Availability: If a unit is no longer listed, it is unavailable. Approved RPSS participants can view other available units without reapplying. Please check all available units and contact the point of contact to arrange a viewing.

Please provide a reliable email address, as we will use it to send you important updates about the application.

We look forward to assisting you!
