Housing supplement to the Transitional Housing Placement for Non-minor Dependents program

The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued about the new housing supplement for Transitional Housing Placement for Non-minor Dependents (THP-NMD).  The Housing Supplement will be implemented in CalWIN counties beginning July 1, 2021, and September 1, 2022 for counties using the CalSAWS computer system.

NMDs who are not custodial parents are eligible for the Housing Supplement if the difference between the fair market value for one-half of a two bedroom apartment in the county where the NMD resides is more than 21.45% of the statewide THP-NMD rate.  NMDs who are  custodial parents are eligible for the Housing Supplement if the difference between the fair market value for a one-bedroom apartment in the county where the NMD resides is more than 21.45% of the statewide THP-NMD rate.

When NMD are placed outside of the placing county, the host county rate is paid.  (ACL 20-121, October 30, 2020.)
