AllCare Health, a physician-owned healthcare organization serving Southern Oregon for over 30 years, has partnered with Rentec Direct, a leading property management software provider, to provide a streamlined platform for landlords to access the Health Related Social Need (HRSN) benefit. This collaboration aims to make it easier for landlords to help their tenants in need of rent assistance while navigating the new Oregon Medicaid program.
The HRSN benefit is part of the state’s 1115 Medicaid Waiver for the 2022-2027 period, designed to provide additional support for social needs that impact health and well-being. The benefit includes rent assistance for eligible tenants who are at risk of homelessness or struggle to maintain housing stability.
“By partnering with Rentec Direct, we’ve created a unique platform that makes it easier for landlords to get paid when they have a tenant who qualifies for the HRSN benefit. This ensures that tenants have a safe, stable home while receiving the care and support they need,” said Amy Burns, Senior Vice President of Clinical Operations for AllCare Health. “AllCare is so lucky to have such a great locally-based partner where we can work together to help local members and families in need.”
Who Qualifies for Rent Assistance Under the HRSN Benefit?
To qualify for the rent assistance, AllCare Health members must meet the following criteria:
- Be at risk of homelessness, as defined by the state
- Have an income at or below 30% of the area median income, as determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
- Lack sufficient resources or support networks to avoid homelessness
- Present with a housing clinical risk factor
- Need support staying in their current housing situation
- Have a lease or written agreement with their landlord
A Seamless Process for Landlords
The collaboration between AllCare Health and Rentec Direct ensures that landlords can quickly and efficiently access the HRSN benefit for eligible tenants. Through Rentec’s innovative property management software platform, landlords can seamlessly receive payments from AllCare Health when their tenants qualify for rent assistance.
“Rentec Direct has always been committed to providing solutions that empower property managers and landlords, and we are thrilled to be part of this partnership with AllCare Health,” said Nathan Miller, President and Founder of Rentec Direct. “By integrating this new benefit into our platform, we’re helping landlords make a meaningful difference in the lives of their tenants, all while receiving the support they need.”
