Rental Assistance

Temporary relief for long term stability

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.

If your need is immediate, we recommend calling instead of filling out an online intake form.

Who qualifies for rental assistance?

Households must be homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness. Verification of homelessness includes the following:

Persons living on the street or in short-term emergency shelter
Persons coming from transitional housing for homeless persons
Persons being evicted from a private dwelling
Persons being discharged from a longer stay in an institution
Persons fleeing domestic violence

What documents do you need when you apply?

Information for all household members, including, but not limited to: name, date of birth, and social security number
Official ID for all household members 18 and over
Signed Social Security card
Third-party homeless certification
A copy of your legally binding rental agreement
A copy of your eviction notice, if you have one
Proof of income for the last 30 days for all household members 18 and over

If you apply without all required documentations, you will be asked to provide the required documentation before your application can be processed.

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.
