WASHINGTON — Rental assistance applications to support children enrolled in community schools are open in eight Maryland counties, Maryland Gov. Moore announced on Wednesday.

Moore signed Community Schools Rental Assistance Program into law last year, with the Democratic governor touting the measure as a boon to children's growth and development and as a means to prevent homelessness.

"CSRAP will help vulnerable students and their families threatened with housing instability keep a roof over their heads," Moore said. "This is a collaborative, interagency initiative, that brings together housing supports, educators and community partners in order to bolster our administration's mission of ending child poverty."
