Assistance with Living Costs (Rent, Mortgage, etc)
EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE - Washington County - 2020 was an especially difficult time for many of Washington County’s residents. With that period of hardship in mind, I’ve committed to partnering with other agencies to help connect those in need with much needed resources. If you are in need of rental assistance as a result of COVID-19’s adverse financial impact, I encourage you to see if you’re eligible to receive newly released federal funds. To apply for Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERA) funds, please see the information listed below and follow the link to the portal, or if you are familiar with the eligibility requirements, click here. If you would prefer to consult with an actual person concerning the ERA, please call (877) 492-3727.
