"A shallow rental subsidy program provides a long-term rental subsidy to participants in order to help them achieve housing stability and prevent homelessness or reentry into homelessness. The subsidies are considered “shallow” compared to traditional “deep” subsidies such as those provided by Housing Choice Vouchers and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) because they provide a lower level of assistance, often based on a set monthly amount."
