Rental assistance
People forced to leave their homes by a crisis would often prefer to rent a room, an apartment, or a house rather than live in a make-shift shelter or camp. This is particularly the case in urban areas. Rental Assistance is an area of programming often involving a Rental Payment component, and one that the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement has a history of undertaking.
