This from therepublic.com: INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) is opening the state Rental Assistance Portal beginning today.
The application for rental assistance may be found at indianahousingnow.org.
“The application portal is designed to help Indiana renters adversely affected by COVID-19 living outside of Marion County avoid eviction by connecting them with programs that can help them cover monthly rent payments or past due rent,” said Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, board chair of IHCDA.
Last month, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb announced $25 million in relief for renters through the COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program. This, combined with other funding sources including the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), will provide Hoosier renters that have been affected by COVID-19 with a variety of resources after they have applied through the Rental Assistance Portal.“It is important that all Hoosiers have equal access to the rental assistance that is available,” said Jacob Sipe, IHCDA executive director.
Hoosiers that are homeless, in a housing crisis, or in need of immediate assistance should call 2-1-1 and ask to connect with a navigator.
