LAST DAY TO APPLY: The Texas Rent Relief Program announced Wednesday that it will be closing its application portal early due to the overwhelming amount of submissions that flooded in just 24 hours after reopening.
The initial window to apply was slated to be open until March 28.The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs said in a news release that $96 million in rent relief is available for eligible households with rent and utility payments.
First-time applicants may be eligible for up to 18 months of rent and utility bill assistance, either with past due payments or a combination of past due and up to three months of current and future payments made on their behalf. “To date, Texas Rent Relief has served more than 316,000 households affected by the pandemic. We continue to see a strong need for assistance, and eviction filings statewide have now returned to pre-pandemic levels. We’re thankful for the opportunity to re-open the application portal for two weeks to help more Texas tenants and landlords,” said Bobby Wilkinson, TDHCA Executive Director.
Returning applicants who have not received the maximum allowed 18 months of assistance for rent and/or utility bills can submit an Additional Funding Request form on their existing account. Applications will be processed in the order received, and renters facing evictions will be prioritized.Those facing eviction are urged to seek legal assistance and stay in communication with their landlord and the court.Copyright 2023 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.A graduate of the University of Houston-Downtown, Ana moved to H-Town from sunny southern California in 2015.
