BOZEMAN â A new rental assistance program for Montana residents is estimated to help as many as 8,000 residents, and that could also include you.
The governorâs office announced the Montana Emergency Rental Assistance program is now taking applications from renters whoâve experienced hardships due to the pandemic and face housing challenges.
Federally funded, the program will pay past due and future rent, utilities, and internet to a certain amount.
To qualify, the household income has to be less than 80 percent of what the median income is for the county.
