We are one of only a few national organizations that provide affordable housing for all low- and moderate-income populations.

Rental Assistance provides listings of Rental Assistance resources to help you cover your long-term and immediate rental needs. We list both government plans and non-profit rental assistance organizations. We do not provide monetary rental assistance ourselves as we are only a listing service. We advise visitors to contact the locations listed on the website for rental assistance.

There are many local and national rental assistance programs that provide assistance to the underserved and low income persons. You must qualify for these programs. That is why we provide information, phone numbers, and websites.

These are hard to locate resources that we provide to you in one website.

PATH is a family of agencies working together to end homelessness for individuals, families, and communities throughout Southern California. We strive to do this by prioritizing housing while providing customized supportive services for people in need. Our agencies each address homelessness in a different way—supportive services, permanent housing development, support for homeless families, and community engagement—all of which ultimately help the people we serve make it home.

PublicHousing.com provides much more than public housing properties. We provide many types of housing deals. The vast majority of our listings are affordable housing bargains.

Our most unique feature is that we publish the direct phone numbers and website URL's of properties, without directing you through a middle man. Most online apartment websites send visitors through third party phone numbers and online contact forms simply to collect a commission. Our website is completely free and our goal is not to get the next commission.

We also allow property owners to post their properties on our website for free at no cost.
