Doña Ana County Emergency Rent & Utilities Assistance Program
Doña Ana County Emergency Rent & Utilities Assistance Program
The funds must be committed no later than September 30, 2021, the end of the federal fiscal year. Any funds not committed by that date must be returned to the federal government. Both renters and landlords can take advantage of this grant. There are specific criteria for the funding. Households with an income that does not exceed 80% of area median income as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are eligible. That means $43,900 annual income for a family of four.
Proof of financial hardship due directly or indirectly to the COVID-19 pandemic is also required. This could be proof of unemployment insurance or loss of income, or other financial hardship that threatens the household’s ability to pay rent or utilities.
