Broward CARES Rental AssistanceNow Available for Qualified Residents
Broward County has allocated $25 million in federal CARES funding for a program that will help residents pay portions of unpaid rent for the months of April, May, June, July and August 2020. These rental assistance funds are not a loan, and they do not have to be paid back. Residents must be able to show a documented loss or reduction in income due to the pandemic, and the inability to pay rent. Broward's Family Success Division is managing the application process and will approve and distribute funds.
Applications are being accepted now through September 6, 2020 from 8AM to 10PM daily.
Assistance equates to a partial payment of rent. For months one and two of the owed rent amounts the rental assistance program will pay, and the landlord must agree to 75% of the amount due. For months three, four and five of rent assistance, the program will pay, and the landlord must agree to 60% of the amount due. Late fees, if any, will not be covered by the program. Payments are made to landlords, therefore if a landlord is not willing to complete the documents, the tenant will not be eligible for assistance.
Visit broward.org/CARES for eligibility and application requirements, and to apply. Only online applications are accepted.
