Rent and Utility Assistance Application Process
What Happens After I Apply?
Your application remains active for 30 days and will be reviewed along with other applications. Due to high demand and limited funding, the review process may take time. If we need more information, we will contact you by email.
Stay Connected
Check your email, voicemail, and spam or junk folders regularly. HSC and partner agencies will use these methods to contact you about your application.
Application Process
Complete the online application for rent or utility assistance.
After you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email.
Important: Your application stays active for 30 days. You do not need to apply again during that time.
The Housing Stabilization Collaborative (HSC) reviews applications using a prioritization tool.
This tool helps identify households that may be at the greatest risk of eviction and homelessness. Because funding is limited, applications are reviewed to help direct assistance to households with the greatest need.
Some applicants may receive an email asking them to complete a supplemental questionnaire.
Receiving a questionnaire does not mean you have been approved for assistance. It means HSC needs more information to continue reviewing your application.
After reviewing applications and questionnaires, some applications may be selected to move forward.
If your application is selected, it will be sent to one of HSC’s partner agencies for processing.
A processor from the partner agency will contact you and explain the next steps.
You may be asked to provide documents such as:
- Proof of income
- Lease or rental information
- Utility bills
- Other documents needed to verify eligibility
The partner agency will review your information and determine whether you qualify for assistance.
Submitting an application does not guarantee funding. Assistance depends on eligibility requirements and available funds.
