- Valid rent agreement.
- Proof of financial hardship since March 13, 2020.
- Income documents for every household member.
- Unpaid rent or utility bills or eviction notice.
It’s first-come, first-served for applications. There’s limited funding, so applying doesn’t guarantee a renter will get help.
Housing Stabilization Services
