Austin’s RENT Assistance Program will now:

• Provide up to six months of full contracted rent payment for rent incurred between March 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. This includes rent that is due now, rent that is overdue, and future rent during this time period.
• Conduct random selection drawings at noon every Friday through the end of the year, or until the funds are expended. All applications, regardless of when they are submitted, will continue to be given equal chance in the selection process.
• Households will be allowed a one-time certification of eligibility (instead of monthly) at the time applications are submitted.
