Indiana COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program

Program designed to help Indiana renters with rent relief

June 25, 2020 by Housing4Hoosiers

Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb announced on June 24, 2020 the allocation of $25 million from Indiana’s CARES Act Discretionary funding to create the Indiana COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program. This program is designed to help Indiana renters whose income has been adversely affected by COVID-19 avoid eviction by providing up to $2,000 in assistance to help cover monthly rent payments or late fees.

The application to apply for rent relief will be available here beginning on July 13, 2020 at 9:00 am EST.

Highlights:

  • People who cannot pay rent due to a COVID-19 related job loss or income reduction can qualify for the program
  • A renter’s current household income, including unemployment benefits, must be less than the household income on March 6.
  • Households can qualify for $500 per month for four months for a maximum of $2,000 in benefits.
  • The money can be used for past-due rent dating back to April 1.
  • Households that have already received emergency rental assistance cannot qualify.
  • Landlords must agree to participate in the program in order for renters to qualify.
  • Landlords who agree to participate must also agree to not evict the tenant for nonpayment until the renter is more than 45 days delinquent on rent.
  • Money awarded from the program will be paid directly to landlords.

Marion County will administer its own program. Residents in Indiana’s remaining 91 counties can apply for the state program.
