Rental aid programs exist all throughout the US that will provide up to $10,000 in stimulus checks for rental assistance while students may be eligible for the same amount.
The Texas Rent Relief program stopped taking new applications at 5 p.m. Friday, citing more requests than money available. However, the City of San Antonio says its Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP), which pays rent or mortgage, and utility bills for San Antonio residents affected by the pandemic, still has enough money to last through the end of the year.
Texas residents who may need assistance with rent and utilities will be unable to apply for relief, or additional funding requests, effective Friday. The total amount of requests in the system already exceed the amount of rent relief funds that were available.
