What’s your opinion on special response assistance ?

[Steve O.]

I have not dealt with the special response assistance the county provides for a tenant in N.J. It does seem like a good program from a landlords aspect. The money is allotted for the rent and security (1.5 months rent) as well as they cover utilities. However, I found that the program is based off funding and funds can be stopped and not guaranteed for a years lease. In addition, the rent allotted by the county seems to be very high. What’s your experience with this program?
