Rental assistance: under the cares act, the rental assistance service provided funds to distribute financial assistance to eligible renters. The primary goal of this program was to prevent evictions and homelessness by helping tenants cover their rental payments and related expenses. Here are some key features that were generally associated with the rental assistance service under the cares act: the specific eligibility criteria could vary by location, but generally, individuals and households that experienced a loss of income, job loss, or significant medical expenses due to covid-19 were eligible to apply for rental assistance. The rental assistance provided financial support to help eligible renters cover their rent payments, late fees, and in some cases, utility bills directly related to the housing unit. Rental assistance payments were typically made directly to landlords or property management companies on behalf of the eligible tenants. This ensured that the landlords received the owed rent and reduced the risk of eviction for tenants. Individuals seeking rental assistance were required to apply through the designated program established by pierce county. Kwa were often involved in helping individuals navigate the application process and provide assistance with documentation.
