Federal agencies, including the U.S. Treasury Department, are coordinating efforts to get tenants help and landlords assistance through the ongoing COVID-19 public health crisis.
In the Consolidated Appropriations Act, approved in January, $25 billion was allocated to rental assistance. The American Rescue Plan, recently signed into law, puts another $21.5 billion in emergency rental assistance into that effort.
RentReliefRI, a Rhode Island program administering these federal funds, is expected to launch soon.
