Rental assistance programs are designed to help renters get the assistance they need to avoid eviction.
Please note: Funding is limited and we are not able to serve everyone who applies. In all cases, payments are issued directly to the landlord.

What happens after you’ve applied?
Your local self-sufficiency coordinator will contact you, Monday thru Friday, between 9am and 4pm. Depending on the volume of applications, it could be up to 30 days after applying before we contact you. If your contact information changes, it is your responsibility to call and update us with your new information. If the self-sufficiency coordinator is unable to reach you, you may lose your spot in line and be required to reapply.
