Hello! Please can you help me to get a rent assistance payment please??
You need to fill out an application found at: http://www.ccrpc.org/programs/emergency-rent-assistance/
Have you reached the 200 applicant limit yet. Several of my tenants need this assistance
No, we have not. We will post an update here when the 200 applications have been received.
Is this only for rental assistance or can this be applied to a mortgage?
This is only for rent assistance.
Is it still possible to get rental assistance?
We are no longer accepting applications.
Is there a way to get on a list in applicants don’t qualify or don’t respond back for their assistance?
I have complete the “Champaign County Rental Assistance Application” in October. I wanted know can I still apply?
Unfortunately no. Applications were due at 4pm on November 30.
The deadline to receive an email regarding applications were Dec 16. What should we do if we haven’t received any email yet?
