The following supporting documentation is required to be submitted electronically:
If you are unable to provide any of the above documentation, would like to explain any unique circumstances or possibly request a waiver, upload a short letter under “Other” describing your situation or why you are unable to provide the information. Some applicants, such as those that are self-employed and do not have pay stubs, may find that submitting bank statements is helpful in documenting a loss of income (pre and post COVID-19). |
Eligibility is restricted to applicants with income levels at 100 percent of the area median income adjusted for household size (see chart here) and varies by county. Applicants will be responsible for paying 30% of the total current gross monthly income of the household for rent; households with rent payments that are at or below 30% of their total gross monthly income will not be eligible for assistance. Income received in the month prior to the month for which you seek assistance (e.g., March gross income for April rent due.) will be annualized (e.g., $1,000 in gross income would be annualized to $12,000), including any earnings, Unemployment Benefits, and Stimulus Funds you received from the federal government.
