Illinois State House District 67 issued the following announcement on Aug. 9
The Emergency Rental Assistance program is opening for applications..
If you’ve been unable to pay your rent due to COVID-19, help is here. IHDA developed the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERA) to support Illinois tenants unable to pay their rent due to a COVID-19-related loss of income. If you are approved, you will receive a grant of $5,000 that will be sent to your landlord to be applied against your rent..
Funds are limited and applications for ERA will be accepted August 10th through August 21st. Applications might close early due to high volume, so apply as soon as possible. Only one application per household is allowed and an application is not a guarantee of assistance..
Don’t wait, apply beginning August 10 at era.ihda.org. If you do not have access to the internet or need help applying please reach out to NW Homestart.
