We do not administer the applications for this program.
​
The Coordinated Housing Options and Individualized Services (CHOIS) program provides rental assistance and case management services to homeless and disabled individuals and families.
​
The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and operated by the Ada County Housing Authority and El-Ada. Participants pay 30% of their income towards rent and utilities and receive on-going supportive services. To be eligible, you must be literally homeless, i.e. be living on the streets or in an emergency shelter, and you must have a disability. Applicants for the CHOIS program must be referred to the program through Ada County’s Coordinated Entry System, otherwise known as “Our Path Home.”
HELP Class

​
This five-section course includes information on the current housing market, tenant/landlord rights, money management, conflict resolution, and home maintenance. It empowers renters to advocate for themselves and maintain housing stability.
