The Martha s Vineyard Times
The Dukes County Regional Housing Authority is offering rental assistance for those affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In an email from David Vignault, executive director of the housing authority, he wrote that the rental assistance is being made possible through a grant by the Marthaâs Vineyard Community Foundation. Unlike a previous program, a renter will only have to provide âa good explanation of a COVID-related financial need and a landlord signatureâ for one monthâs rent, he wrote. âFurther need and possible use of a W-9 by a landlord may increase financial assistance to two or three monthâs of rent payment. All payments are made directly to the landlord.â
