Purpose: To make renting in the area more affordable for employees of Coastal Housing Partnership member companies.

How: Coastal Housing Partnership (CHP) has partnered with a number of local landlords that have agreed to reduce the monthly Market Rent on new leases on a number of their rental units for employees of CHP member companies. Market Rents on studios and one-bedroom units will be reduced by $50 per month. Market Rents on units with two or more bedrooms will be reduced by $75 per month. Market Rents on single-family homes will be reduced by $100 per month.
