Family Support Center provides rent assistance to families with children and survivors of domestic violence in Thurston County facing eviction. Through the Eviction Prevention Rent Assistance (EPRA) program, we serve the tenants most at risk for eviction and homelessness. EPRA has limited funding and will not be able to serve every eligible applicant, therefore applicants with active evictions or eviction summons will be prioritized.
EPRA eligibility requirements:
- Tenant resides in Thurston County.
- Household has children under the age of 18 in the household 51% of the time and/or survivor of domestic violence.
- You have an eviction summons through Thurston County Superior Court, in active eviction, and/or have a court ordered payment plan.
- Household annual income is at or less than 80% AMI, see below:

2 Person Household
