Description
Emergency Cash Rental Support Program Guidelines
for Forcibly Displaced Families in the West Bank
1. Introduction
The Cash Rental Support Program provides immediate relief to displaced families from refugee camps and
the surrounding areas affected by military operations in the West Bank by enabling them temporary rental
accommodation while they secure other alternatives, re-establish their livelihoods to continue renting or
find onward accommodation options. These guidelines follow a structured, evidence-based, and needs
driven approach, aligning with humanitarian principles and best practices.
By integrating market-based solutions, targeted support for vulnerable populations, and a well-defined exit
strategy, the program prioritizes dignified and safe housing temporary solutions while ensuring
sustainability and effectiveness in addressing urgent shelter needs.
Objectives
• Provide immediate shelter assistance to displaced families.
• Ensure a fair, transparent, and efficient rental cash-based intervention.
• Mitigate the risks of homelessness and forced evictions.
• Align with the Shelter Cluster’s coordination mechanisms and vulnerability criteria.
• Plan an exit strategy for long-term housing solutions.
