Description

The sessions will cover: 
•         FAQs on the Emergency Rental Assistance Program. 
•         Updated policy for 18 months of rental assistance. 
•         New process to recertify applicants for future stipends. 
•         New process for direct payments to eligible tenants where a landlord is unreachable or will not participate in program.  
•         Definition of COVID-19 impact, and how more applicants may be eligible.  
•         Success of community mediation as a tool to preserve tenancies. 
•         Other resources, including legal aid and other homelessness prevention programs. 
 
Tenants and landlords can receive deep subsidies with federal programs, and we want to ensure that as many households as possible submit and complete applications. Many more households are potentially eligible than have applied, and we need your help in spreading awareness.
