The U.S. Department of the Treasury released today a new FAQ to help states and communities quickly distribute more than $25 billion in emergency rental assistance to renters in need.
The revised FAQ directly addresses the significant flaws in the previous guidance issued by the Trump administration and includes many of the recommendations made by NLIHC and the NLIHC-led Disaster Housing Recovery Coalition (DHRC). The DHRC developed these recommendations with direct input from local stakeholders about challenges and lessons learned in responding to the pandemic. The recommendations are also based on NLIHC’s analysis and tracking of more than 600 state and local rental assistance programs created or expanded during the pandemic.
Under the updated FAQ: Renters may self-attest to meeting most eligibility criteria, including income, housing stability, and the amount of back rent owed, provided that certain safeguards are met. This will help reduce the burden on program administrators and renters when applying for assistance.The timeframe is shortened from 21 days to as little as 10 days before assistance can be provided directly to tenants in cases when landlords refuse to participate in the program.Assistance can cover home internet costs needed for distance learning, telework, and telehealth, helping to keep families connected to school, work, and healthcare.Some of the funds may be used to provide legal assistance to renters facing eviction under certain conditions.Programs can provide up to 10% of funds for stability services, correcting an error made in the Trump-era guidance previously issued.NLIHC anticipates that the Department of Treasury will issue further guidance, and we will continue to advocate for improvements to ensure the funding reaches the lowest-income and most marginalized renters.

Hello, I hope to find everyone well.
Would anyone happen to know of any rental properties that have a year long lease and that may be senior friendly and/or low-income that has current and/or upcoming availability. This is for a client who has been struggling finding housing as a disabled senior, with a housing referral that is valid through the end of this month.
Any and all recommendations, would be greatly appreciated.
