PRAP Plus works in direct correlation with the already existing Private Rental Assistance Program (PRAP).
The purpose of PRAP Plus is to provide households with additional practical support in accessing , establishing or maintaining private rental tenancies.
PRAP Plus supports those that are tenancy ready by means of advocacy, utilising relationships with local real-estate agents and drawing on knowledge of housing legislation.
The PRAP Plus initiative will encompass a component that offers incentives such as minor alterations or repairs to the property to benefit the tenant. A more hands on approach in conjunction with financial assistance provides a more tailored program in the prevention of homelessness within in the Inner Gippsland area.
PRAP Plus is designed to:
- Provide time limited outreach intervention to support tenancies (up to 12 weeks)
- Address issues which are contributing to the risk of tenancy breakdown.
- Achieve outcomes that lead to successful and sustainable private rental tenancies.
- Reduce preventable exits from private rental.
- Prevent homelessness.
The PRAP Plus outreach support can be accessed via any of the following:
- An application completed with the assistance from a support worker or Homeless Entry Point.
- A direct referral from a Real Estate or Property Manager.
To be eligible for assistance from Quantum Support Services you must be a current resident of one of the following shires:
- Latrobe City
- Baw Baw Shire
- South Gippsland Shire
