CDBG-CV Emergency Rental Assistance

The Community Development Block Grant-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) Emergency Rental Assistance Program (CDBG-CV ERAP) has been developed to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19).

This program will provide up to six (6) months of emergency rental assistance for qualifying families living inside the city limits and will only be granted one time per household.  Applicant must demonstrate a financial hardship, such as a reduction in hours or loss of employment that will result in eviction from their current residence.

A hardship can be demonstrated by providing paystubs, unemployment checks or a letter from employer verifying a loss of income or reduction in hours. Assistance will be provided on a first come, first served basis.  The program is available for households that are renting/leasing their current place of residence.
