DHHS has established four statewide priorities for recipients. The following is a list of prioity populations to be served by the BRAP program:

• Eligible individuals who are leaving state psychiatric institutions (Riverview Psychiatric Facility, BMHI) and individuals in private psychiatric hospital beds or individuals who have been discharged within the last six months from any of these institutions
  
  
• Eligible individuals who are homeless, as defined by the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act as funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
  
  
• Eligible individuals who are moving from community residential programs funded by DHHS to more independent living arrangements
  
  
• Eligible individuals who are living in substandard housing in the community as defined by US Department Housing and Urban Development
  
  Program participants pay 51% of their income for rent. BRAP subsidizes the remaining portion of the rent up to the Fair Market Rental value determined by US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
