Housing and Utilities Assistance

Depending on your circumstances, EAF assistance may:

• Bring your delinquent rent or utility bill(s) current.

• Pay up to 3 months of future rent.

• Provide a stipend for the internet.

You may qualify if you can answer yes to the following questions.

• Does your household income meet the program's limits?

• Are you a renter household?

• Has someone in your household (1) qualified for unemployment or (2) had a decrease in income or increase in expenses due to Covid-19?

• Is someone in your household at risk for housing instability or homelessness?

Every household's situation is different, so the amount of assistance you may receive will be specific to your needs.

Please have all your information and documents ready to ensure faster processing of your application. An application will not begin the review process until all information has been received.

If you are requesting rental assistance, make sure the amount you request will be accepted by your landlord. If they challenge the amount, it can delay your application's processing.

If you qualify for rent assistance, EAF will request approval from your landlord/property manager. If your landlord/property manager approves, EAF will send payments directly to them to bring your rent current.

If you qualify for utility assistance, the EAF will work with your utility company(ies). If your utility company(ies) approve, EAF will send payments directly to them to bring your utilities current.

If you qualify for internet assistance, EAF will send you an internet stipend.
