Hogan Administration Announces Second Phase of Emergency Rental Assistance Program Funding |
|
Secretary Kenneth C. Holt announced that the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will allocate an additional $204 million for the continuation of the state’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program. This second phase of federal funding will support local efforts to assist tenants whose ability to pay rent has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the funds provided to DHCD, more than $148 million was allocated directly to Maryland counties and Baltimore City.
Tenants and landlords seeking aid should visit rentrelief.maryland.gov or call 877-546-5595 to get connected to rental assistance programs. In addition to local programs, tenants in eligible properties may qualify for DHCD’s Assisted Housing Relief Program, which serves rental units in multifamily projects financed by the department’s Community Development Administration using state funds or federal resources. Tenants in those properties should contact their property management company for application information.
