Those in need of help with rent and utility costs can now apply for the Texas Rent Relief program. Applications have opened and will be accepted until March 28.
PUBLISHED 1:24 PM CDT Mar. 14, 2023TEXAS — Those in need of help with rent and utility costs can now apply for the Texas Rent Relief program. Applications have opened and will be accepted until March 28, according to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
“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.
“Funding is limited, so anyone who needs help paying their rent and utility bills should review the program requirements now, gather all the necessary paperwork ahead of time, and be ready to apply on March 14,” he said. Renters applying for the first time may be eligible for up to 18 months of rent and utility bill assistance associated with either past due payments or both past due and up to three months of current and future payments made on their behalf.
For returning applicants who have not received the maximum “allowed 18 months of assistance for rent and/or utility bills,” they can apply for an Additional Funding Request via their online account. According to the TDHCA, priority will be given to those currently facing evictions, but applications will be processed in the order received.
