Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) is a state program that provides short-term financial assistance for low-income families and individuals facing eviction or a utility shutoff, regardless of immigration status. The program provides up to $10,000 per year to cover utilities, moving costs, and overdue rent. Assistance is paid directly to landlords and utility providers on the tenant’s behalf.
