Deadline for New Emergency Rental Assistance Program Applications
Deadline for New Emergency Rental Assistance Program Applications
The Prince George’s County Emergency Rental Assistance Program
(ERAP) has assisted over 5,200 households, making over $42 million in rent and
utility payments to landlords on behalf of tenants since March 2021. These
payments have enabled tenants to stay housed during the COVID-19 pandemic while
assisting landlords in maintaining their mortgage obligations. To date, Prince
George’s County has been leading the State in the deployment of rental
assistance funds, and in collaboration with our non-profit community partners,
Community Legal Services of Prince George’s County, the Office of the Sheriff,
and the Office of Community Relations, we continue to work in diverting
evictions and in keeping families safely housed.
On December 15, 2021, the Department of Housing and Community
Development (DHCD) will close the application portal and continue its focus on
reviewing and processing remaining applications. New ERAP applications will not
be accepted after 3:00 PM on this date. Closing the application portal will ensure
that DHCD has the funding needed for the open applications that still need to
be processed for payment, including applications received between now and
December 15.
DHCD is also pleased to be a recipient of the State of Maryland’s ERA 1
supplemental assistance. With these funds, we will be able to finalize the
awarding of an additional $20 million to County residents affected by this
pandemic.
Working with its community service providers, DHCD will ensure
that the remaining ERAP funds will be used to provide assistance for eligible
pending applications. Low-income households facing eviction and residents
with addresses in a census tract of greatest vulnerability will continue to be
prioritized. Applicants will be contacted by their assigned reviewers to
finalize all necessary information. Residents with pending eviction cases
should continue to reach out to DHCD and call the ERAP Hotline at 301-883-6504
and press 9.
The submission of an application does not guarantee approval for
ERAP assistance. All applications are carefully reviewed and subject to
state and federal eligibility requirements. Applications are also subject to
the availability of funding at the time of processing.
Calls and questions can be made to the ERAP Hotline customer
service representatives on 301-883-6504 or by visiting https://tinyurl.com/pgcERAP.
