County of Union has received funds from the U.S. Department of the Treasury intended to provide rental utility assistance to eligible households negatively impacted due to COVID-19, and the resulting economic environment. If you are a tenant, who has experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19’s economic impact, and have been unable to meet your financial obligations of paying your rent or utility payments as of March 2020, then please check to see if you are eligible for this program to cover any owed payments.

If a landlord is not registered, the landlord will receive a registration invitation when a tenant applies to the program and provides landlord information on the application.
Landlords cannot apply on behalf of tenants but are encouraged to share the program details with tenants. Registered landlords will receive notifications about tenant applications and be asked to provide rental ledgers for each tenant’s past-due rent and up to three months of prospective rent. Prompt responses to ERAP application requests will help expedite the process and payment issuance for approved tenants. Please note the landlord must comply with the terms and conditions laid out in the Landlord Agreement. If approved for direct funding, the landlord MUST dismiss, any and all complaints filed in Landlord Tenancy Court or any other Court against the Tenant/Applicant.
