Safe Harbor Housing Program
Eviction diversion initiative for tenants and landlords
important message
The Safe Harbor program, funded with Federal CARES Act dollars, has depleted its funds. Unfortunately, this means that we are unable to process or pay out any more rental assistance. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you.
If you actively have been working with a Safe Harbor representative on an application, your application will be transferred to the Housing Network of Rhode Island (HNRI). There is no need for you to take any action on your application at this time.
We are doing everything we can to assist as many Rhode Islanders as possible, and we ask for your patience at this time.
