Security and Utility Deposit Assistance Program (SUDAP)

SUDAP was established to provide security deposits and utility deposits for low-income (below 50% of the Area Median Income) individuals and families participating in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher or Public Housing Programs. In order to encourage good stewardship of private apartments and homes, tenants participating in the program are required to pay a portion of their required security and utility deposits. The remainder is paid by SUDAP in the form of a 0% loan that is repaid when the tenant vacates the property or is no longer enrolled in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher or Public Housing Program.
