Do you qualify for rental assistance? Here's everything you need to know
You could receive up to 18 months of assistance, including a mix of payments for back and future rent.
If you've already been approved for rental funds but continue to be behind, you can typically apply again as long as you're requesting relief for a different period of time. The money usually goes to your landlord, unless they refuse to comply .Housing advocates point to a number of problems with the rollout of the assistance, particularly around some arduous application processes.
"Public officials are more concerned about so-called scammers getting this money than they are about the people who truly need it," said, an assistant professor of sociology at Winston-Salem State University and an organizer with Housing Justice Now. If you're unable to meet a documentation requirement for one program's application or are denied from a certain fund, look for other rental assistance resources in your area, experts say.
It may also be worth reaching out to the organization and explaining why you can't come up with a certain form. The most recent guidance from the Treasury Department encourages programs to take people at their word.Yet another issue is that some landlords are refusing to accept the money from the programs because they don't want to agree to its terms, which can include a ban on evicting that tenant or raising their rent for a window of time.
