Feeling the pressure? So are we. But let’s not give up so easily -the clock is ticking on new rent relief possibilities that will hopefully pass over the next few weeks. There are also still a few programs available for getting a one-time payment for rent relief.
Yes, it’s slim pickins’, but it’s better than nothing.
The NLIHC Covid-19 Rental Assistance Database is public, and although a bit of a pain to scroll through, the application links are easy to access and each relief program has a description -please read each and every detail before submitting your application -there are millions of individuals signing up, so make sure to not waste your time, nor the time of those who are working to keep these programs running & available. You also may add to this database if you know of any programs that you believe should be included. This list has been updated as of today, Tuesday January 5th, 2021. We wish you luck dear friends!

The purpose of Rental Assistance Programs are to support residents who are struggling to pay their rent, or to those who may be at great risk of displacement due to falling behind in rent. We scoured the above document, and found that there are a few programs which are still accepting applications. Keep in mind that many of these programs have already closed, but don’t let this fact deter you from finding one (at the least!) that may be available. Also be aware that these programs are one-time grants that are mainly allotted directly to landlords on behalf of the tenant.
