How To Apply For Rent Assistance?

If you have applied for Section 8 or other affordable housing programs, you can still participate in other HUD programs.

Some groups can receive preferences, which means less time to wait for assistance. Preferences for rent assistance often include the elderly, persons with disabilities, and veterans. However, bad records can lead to discrimination.

Rent assistance has more programs than affordable housing. For example, Subsidized Rental Housing Utility Deposit (SRHUD), whose application is accepted throughout the year, and General Relief Assistance (GRA), a 100% state-funded program. Check the eligibility for these programs and apply for them through the agency.
