rent

Congress has approved nearly $47 billion to help keep struggling renters in their homes and make landlords whole. Those funds are available now to help Texas renters, but applying can be confusing. Here's what you need to know to navigate the process.

In February, Texas launched a program to help people who had missed rent payments because of the pandemic. By the end of March, only 250 people had actually got help paying for rent out of 72,000 completed applications.

The statewide program should start in two weeks and could help with up to 15 months of rent for tenants that have felt the impact of the pandemic.

The new stimulus bill passed by Congress late Monday will avert a potentially catastrophic and historic wave of evictions, at least temporarily. Lawmakers agreed to a $900 billion relief deal that would, among its provisions, send another $25 billion in rental assistance and extend a nationwide eviction moratorium.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered a nationwide eviction ban for people who can't pay rent and have no place to go. It's helping some, but many others are getting evicted anyway.
