Understanding the Emergency Rental Assistance Program Requirements and Applying for Funding

[@empowerwithisaura]

The program does work make sure your are filling out the application correctly! My aunt got 12 months of rent cover plus utilities! also got qualified for rent control.

[@minckasaintcyr2066]

What should I do if am behind rent and can’t pay it and the landlord don’t want to sign the w9 form

[@meagenperrone3946]

I am in need of assistance desperately! I was over looked and never Received ANY of the 3 - 4 Stimulus packages, I filled for identity theft because someone claimed PAU benefits in my name but not in the state I live in, I was denied for snap ( food stamps ) and financial assistance because I DID NOT MAKE ENOUGH

[@lilianpascal8931]

I am getting stuck on entering the number of people in the apartment. Every time I am getting the same message that I did not enter the information, when I know I did. I am not well and frustrated.

[@dwaynepipe300]

You dont need lawful permanent residence??? What the actual fuck.

[@jaydizzy76]

What happens when your landlord reneges on the ERAP agreement and raises the rent. I have contacted the ERAP department and they had no answers because no one has asked this question. I have read everything about the ERAP at least ten times, so any extra info would be greatly appreciated!

[@fm-xg2ql]

I would pay the current rent as per the erap agreement. That was a stipulation to receiving the payment. You pay your current rent for the year. I would keep requesting a new lease so that if Good forbid you are taken to court the following year, you will have proof. I would also report them to housing authority in your area

[@bruceharding723]

Where do I get the forms at?... I need help now!!!!

How does a landlord get rent paid for tenants that don't cooperate?

[@innalm8250]

They pay directly to the landlord

[@jaydizzy76]

I think there's a program for that as well.

[@jcmpli]

What happened if a tenant is denied or do not qualify?

[@jayjaylenar]

If your application is denied, you go to HRA and apply for the assistance. The ERAP has to be denied first before going to HRA

[@shiwan45]

I don't see why you wouldn't when people who don't even have a SSN or ID are qualifying and they're not citizens. I think if you're affected by covid 19 they should help you . Go back and try again and tell them you need help ASAP.

[@akosuaalbritton612]

Unfortunately, they probably don't get the needed service.

[@CATGIRL775]

Can NYC residents within the 5 boroughs apply?

[@CATGIRL775]

I applied 3x during Covid for rental assistant and was denied in NYC. I manage to get by with the unemployment benefit I currently received. As a single parent with a child in school I should not have to go through this process over and over again.

[@junito1008]

@@CATGIRL775 I think that the prior assistant program was more difficult to get...it was only giving 3 month of rent...this program is more straight forward and will cover up to 12 month of rent.

They will start the application process on June 1, 2021 @9AM that’s probably why you can’t see a sign up page -yet. Make sure you check tomorrow morning! Hope that helps 😊

[@shinca5044]

Not exactly helpful to know if I can trust who'd see my information. Etc. Why does it say household members had unemployment benefits when I've said nothing.

[@junito1008]

Claro !!

[@shiwan45]

I downloaded a application for rental assistance and there was 33 pages. That's insane. I'm wondering why each state is different when it comes to all this filing and rules to apply . We are all going through the same disgusting thing. I'm saying that this is so wrong of the government to do to people because some people don't even have access to computers or phones .

[@joanneagliata1084]

Ny is a scam I been waiting since August have a second eviction notice now and all they say when you call is keep calling back were reviewing your application seriously stop playing games ny and pay the Damm rents

[@Lusciouskisses911]

Shit is pissing me off! Very stressful

[@pinkandblue92511]

Can you make a payment plan with your landlord?

[@victorarata4138]

the page is bloqued

[@shiwan45]

Wow that's insane you shouldn't be blocked from assistance. What state are you from.

[@shiwan45]

Who is the governor of your state ? Call his office and ask to speak to him

[@vanessa-oh2id]

They haven’t even paid the utilities portion as of yet lol

[@trishaforbes9551]

NY sucks… this is nearly impossible to the landlord, hope I recuperate some funds… as my mortgage holder still wants their payment
