The state began accepting applications this morning for the "The COVID Rent Relief Program."

Applications will be accepted for two weeks.

The program will provide a subsidy to the landlord of selected tenants that covers a portion of their rent for up to four months.

Priority will be given to applicants with the greatest need based on finances and their risk of homelessness.
