Need Help Paying for Rent?
Federal help with paying your rent
If you’re a tenant having trouble paying your rent, utilities, or other housing costs, help may be available.
The federal Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program was created to help tenants like you cover housing costs and stay in stable housing during the coronavirus pandemic. Many programs are taking applications from both tenants and landlords. So if you’re a landlord, you’re in the right place too. ERA funds come from the federal government, but local programs are distributing the money in their own communities.
Am I eligible for emergency rental assistance?
To be eligible for help covering your rent, you must have an agreement to pay rent for your home or mobile home lot. You don’t necessarily need to have a signed lease, and your home could be an apartment, house, mobile home, or other place.
These three statements also need to be true:
At least one member of your household has:
Qualified for unemployment or should qualify
Lost income
Owed large expenses, OR
Had other financial hardships
Your household income is below a certain amount, based on where you live
At least one member of your household is experiencing housing instability, which means they are at risk of becoming homeless or would have trouble finding a stable place to live
Providing life saving AC for those in need
No AC? Repairs too costly? You may qualify for a FREE window unit !
St Vincent de Paul helping those in need save on Internet Bills
HELP NEIGHBORS SAVE $50 ON THEIR INTERNET BILL
The Emergency Broadband Benefit will partially subsidize internet bills to help people stay connected and able to access online school, jobs and healthcare.
The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program is temporary program administered by USAC with oversight from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Demand is high and families are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
Those in need can visit HERE to find out if they qualify.
The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program that provides a temporary discount on monthly broadband bills for qualifying low-income households. If your household is eligible, you can receive:
Up to a $50/month discount on your broadband service and associated equipment rentals
Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands
A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household.
The FCC has announced that consumers can begin applying for and enrolling in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program on May 12, 2021. The program will end when the fund runs out of money, or six months after the Department of Health and Human Services declares an end to the COVID-19 health emergency, whichever is sooner.
