The Relief of Emergency Needs for Tenants (RENT) Assistance Program provides up to six months of full rent payment for income-eligible Austin renters who have experienced a COVID-19-related income loss. Applications are open.
Random selection of eligible applications for rent assistance will occur weekly on Fridays at 12pm through the end of December 2020, or until program funds are expended. All applications, regardless of when they are submitted, will be given equal chance in the selection process.
