What Is United Way Rental Assistance?

United Way rental assistance is offered through a few different methods and programs. One way they help with rent relief is by helping those in need to receive funds from the Emergency Rental Assistance Program. This federal program is one of the largest rent assistance programs in the United States and was passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Another rental assistance program done by United Way is called 211. This program is intended to serve as an emergency relief service, and one service offered from United Way 211 is rent assistance.

Who Is Eligible for Rental Assistance?

Generally speaking, rental assistance is set aside for those who have financial needs. Eligibility is often based on something called the income limit. This number changes based on where you are geographically, and it refers to the maximum income a person can make to receive rental assistance.
