CFPB’s Online Tool to Help Renters and Landlords Obtain Federal Assistance

Earlier today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) posted an online tool that helps renters and landlords impacted by the pandemic to find and apply for assistance with rent, utilities, and other expenses.

 

This is greatly needed. The CFPB has analyzed Census Household Pulse Survey data for the time period from June 23-July 5, 2021. According to the data, 16% of adults living in rental households reported that they are currently behind on their payments. Further, 49% or approximately 3.6 million of these adult tenants report that eviction is somewhat likely or very likely in the next two months.

 

 

To get the help you that need, please use the link below to locate state and local organizations that are distributing federal rental assistance.
