Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program

Grand Prairie's Housing and Neighborhood Services Department is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program.

Beginning June 1, 2023, the TBRA program will be available to individuals and families in Grand Prairie who meet the program's eligibility requirements.

The TBRA program is a federally funded program regulated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and it is managed and operated in the City of Grand Prairie by the Department of Housing & Neighborhood Services. The program's funding source is the HOME-ARP grant, which is used to primarily benefit individuals or families who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, or other populations with a high risk of housing instability.

The program provides rental assistance, security deposits, and utility deposits to eligible individuals and families. The primary target populations for the HOME-ARP funds include households that are low-income and highly cost-burdened.

Veterans and families that include a veteran family member who meets one of the preceding criteria are also eligible.

Tip:

  • Family sizes in excess of 8 persons are calculated by adding 8% of the four-person income limit for each additional family member.
  • That is, a 9-person limit should be 140% of the 4-person limit, the 10-person limit should be 148%.
  • The income limit values for large households (9-12 persons) must be rounded to the nearest $50.
  • Therefore, all values from 1 to 24 are rounded down to 0, and all values from 25 to 49 are rounded up to 50.
