A new program called “Iowa Rental Help” was announced on Oct. 28 to help hundreds of Iowans maintain or acquire an affordable rental home.
Although this program is designed for all Iowans in need, individuals affected by the 2008 disasters could use this program as one more step toward recovery.
As part of the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, almost $1.5 billion was allocated to cities and states for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program. The State of Iowa received $11 million for the program, which is also called Iowa Rental Help.
Iowa Rental Help can provide qualified Iowa renters with rent and utility payments for up to 18 months (including up to six months in arrears), moving expenses, security deposits, rental deposits and more.
