ERAP provides financial assistance to low-income renters experiencing hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent eviction and housing instability. Funds cover up to 18 months of past-due and prospective rent, utilities, and other qualifying housing costs. Eligible households must earn at or below 80% of area median income and demonstrate COVID-related financial hardship.
Answer each question — we'll show you exactly what applies to your situation.
Are you a renter who has experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19 or other qualifying event?
What is your household income?
This program uses Area Median Income (AMI) — the middle income for your local area — as its benchmark. Your limit is 80% of your area's AMI, which varies by location. Select your state and area to see your exact limit.
Are you at risk of homelessness or housing instability — past-due rent, eviction notice, or unsafe/unhealthy housing?
Do you not have already received rental assistance covering the same period from another program?
Are you a US citizen or qualifying non-citizen?
