The Rental Assistance Finder provides information on rental assistance programs across the country.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Eviction Moratorium was a tremendous financial and operational burden on the rental housing community. After months of advocacy by the National Apartment Association, Congress finally allocated nearly $47 billion in rental assistance funds intended to help alleviate the financial burden of residents and rental housing providers. However, states and localities have been slow to deliver the funds and, in some instances, placed additional and prohibitive restrictions on rental assistance dollars.
To aid in connecting renters and housing providers with emergency rental assistance funds, a new search tool has launched providing information on rental assistance programs around the country. The Rental Assistance Finder was designed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to help renters and housing providers find their local program and apply for assistance. NAA encourages members of the rental housing industry to use the tool and also share it widely with residents in an effort to help make everyone whole again.
