Emergency Rental Assistance Program

The Emergency Rental Assistance Program provides financial aid to renters struggling to pay their rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic or related economic hardships. It helps cover past-due rent, current payments, and sometimes utility costs, preventing eviction and housing instability. The program is typically administered by state or local agencies, with funds allocated from federal sources. Eligibility depends on income level, rental agreement, and financial hardship caused by the pandemic. Overall, it aims to support tenants in maintaining stable housing during difficult times.
