What’s covered
Funds will be provided as a grant for rent and landlord-provided utilities for approved applicants. Eligible renters may receive grant funds up to 18 months of assistance, if needed, for expenses incurred no earlier than April 1, 2020 and no later than August 2025, as long as the applicant remains eligible and funding is available.
Note: Applicants who previously received funding through the State's Emergency Rental Assistance Program, OUR Florida, may be eligible to receive funding through Manatee County's Emergency Rental Assistance Program. However, all months of assistance from OUR Florida and Manatee County's Emergency Rental Assistance Program cannot exceed a total of 18 months.
After you apply, if you continue to experience impact from COVID-19 and need assistance, you can complete a re-certification form for future rent payments (pending available funding but cannot exceed a total of 18 months).
