Eligible Montgomery County residents can receive up to $12,000 to pay back rent owed and $2,000 for utilities.
“I am pleased to announce the reopening of the rental relief program. We have additional funds to distribute, and we know that the need for this assistance has not gone away,” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich in a statement. “The impact of this pandemic will be with us for quite some time, so I urge eligible residents who are in need to not delay and apply today.”
To be eligible for the fourth phase of the program, households must earn a gross income that is less than half of the median income of households in the county. They must also have experienced pandemic-related financial hardship, have resided in Montgomery County since at least August 2021, have an informal or formal obligation to pay rent and be behind on their rent by at least two months.
As of July 24, the county has distributed $79.1 million in financial assistance through the rent relief program, which launched May 2020. The program is managed by Montgomery County’s Department of Health and Human Services with funding from the Department of Treasury’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
Renters facing immediate threat of eviction can call 311 Monday through Friday to be connected with the county’s Housing Stabilization Services.
