The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has developed a $1.5 million program funded by federal HOME dollars to offer

tenant-based rental assistance to low-income renters.

§ Rental assistance will allow tenants to remain current with monthly rent payments, and can be used retroactively to pay April and May rent.

§ The fund is estimated to assist 400 households for a minimum of six months and up to two years based on financial need and available funds.

§ Community-Based Non-Profit Organizations will work with renters to manage and disburse funds.

Call for applications will open on Monday, May 11.
