Limited Amount of Rental Assistance Available
IMPACT Community Action has a very limited amount of rental assistance available. This funding is dedicated to support customers currently in eviction court facing immediate eviction. If you are in need of rental assistance, please go to www.rental614.com
Since 2020, IMPACT Community Action has been on the front-line distributing and advocating for Emergency Rental Assistance in our Community. To date, we have served over 50,000 households and distributed over $100,000,000.00 in aid.
We know that the need for this relief continues each day and it is hard for households to afford to live where they work. We, like other organizations providing rental assistance, have a decrease in ERA funding and have to make a shift to ensure that we are able to serve households at Eviction Court until June of 2025.
To that end, please see attached Emergency Rental Assistance update.
If you or someone you know has a question, please reach out to rental@impactca.org
