CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Governor Abbott and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) have come up with a way to help Texans experiencing housing challenges because of the spread of COVID-19.
Texas will now provide home tenant-based rental assistance, and these funds are made possible by a series of waivers recently authorized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The HUD waivers will allow a portion of the TDHCA's funds to be used for helping families and individuals with up to 100% of the cost of rent, security deposit payments, and utility bills. This is great news for those affected by the loss of income because of COVID-19.
Those needing assistance should visit "Help for Texans" to search for rental assistance providers.
