The state’s new COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program had to be temporarily suspended due to an overwhelming response. Last week, state officials announced the program, which aims to help people impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The program was announced as one to help households financially impacted as a result of shutdowns, closures, layoffs, reduced work hours or unpaid leave due to the pandemic. Critics complained there was not nearly enough money for those in need. They also said that the income limits were too low. The Louisiana Housing Corporation say they will continue to process applications and follow-up with renters who qualify to receive financial assistance. They said the program will reopen as additional funds become available. To learn more or receive notice about additional rental resources, visit LaRentHelp.com.
