Housing Authority of the City of Longview

Tenant Based Rental Assistance
Drug Court

LHA in partnership with Cowlitz County Drug Court will provide tenant based rental assistance (TBRA) to 8 participants in Cowlitz County Drug Court in the city limits of Longview, Washington. Eligibility is determined and all families are referred by the Cowlitz County Drug Court. This TBRA program will offer supportive transitional housing opportunities to families who are successfully participating in Cowlitz County Drug Court.

All services are designed to offer the most supportive environment possible to increase the likelihood of success for participants. Drug Court staff will monitor participation in supportive services and participants will be required to be actively working on long-term goals for success. After a maximum of 12 months of TBRA participation, clients will be transitioned to the Section 8 Voucher program.

Drug Court does not maintain a waiting list for this program, but will determine the overall suitability of clients for the program. Eligible families are referred to LHA.
