More financial help for Idaho renters

A new round of funding means Idaho renters affected by COVID-19 can again receive short-term rent and utility support through Idaho Housing and Finance Association’s Housing Preservation Program.
The program, which helps Idahoans experiencing financial hardship because of the pandemic, is accepting applications again for people living outside of Ada County. Renters can go to https://www.idahohousing.com/hpp/ to find out if they qualify and apply for assistance. Further information is available by calling 1-855-452-0801.

“Making sure people have a safe, stable place to live during this pandemic is critical to our economic recovery,” said Gerald M. Hunter, president of Idaho Housing and Finance Association. “This additional funding allows us to immediately assist Idaho renters who are experiencing financial hardship. We encourage renters and landlords to apply.”

Program očuvanja stambenog prostora dostupan je samo podstanarima. Podnosioci zahtjeva moraju imati dugovanja za zakašnjelu kiriju ili komunalije ili ne biti u mogućnosti platiti predstojeću kiriju ili komunalije zbog okolnosti povezanih s COVID-19. Da bi ispunjavali uslove, podnosioci zahtjeva ne smiju zarađivati više od 80% medijane prihoda područja, must be Idaho residents and must have at least one member of the household legally eligible to reside in the United States. Those receiving a federal housing subsidy are not eligible. Ada County residents should apply for assistance through the Stambene vlasti grada Boisea/okruga Ada. Those who qualify can receive up to 15 months of assistance. Additional eligibility details are available at https://www.idahohousing.com/hpp/

Any payments will be made directly to landlords or utility companies. Landlords can apply on behalf of their tenants.
