Arizona Department of Housing | COVID-19 Rental Eviction Prevention Assistance Program

As the COVID-19 emergency began to impact employment, the Arizona Department of Housing swiftly stood up a Rental Eviction Prevention Assistance program with $5M in funding provided by the State Housing Trust Fund. The Department implemented a paperless product by utilizing an existing system and worked with Community Action Agencies to administer the program. Renters struggling to pay rent as a result of COVID-19 can apply for up to $2K per month in rental assistance, paid to the landlord.
