Renters in Jefferson Parish who are struggling to pay their rent due to the pandemic can now apply for rental assistance.
The parish announced the launch of an Emergency Rental Assistance Program to help eligible people who lack sufficient income or resources to pay rent due to COVID-19.
Those who qualify for this program include anyone living and renting in Jefferson Parish who has been economically impacted by COVID and has not yet received rental assistance from another program for the same time period. Applicants must meet certain income restrictions and provide documentation of their income and past-due rent payments.
“We are pleased to be able to offer this much-needed assistance to residents in Jefferson Parish who were impacted financially by COVID-19,” said Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng. “I encourage all those who are struggling to pay rent to visit the website and apply online if you meet the qualifications.“
