Last Chance to Apply for Emergency Rental Assistance

BoroPark24 Staff 

Time is ticking for eligible New Yorkers to apply for temporary protection from eviction. 

ERAP provides significant economic relief to low and moderate-income Rockland County households that experienced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were at risk of homelessness. The program provides rental arrears, temporary rental assistance, and utility arrears. 

New York State's new Emergency Rental Assistance (ERAP) application deadline is tomorrow, January 20th, at 9 p.m. After that time, applications will no longer be accepted. 

For more information about the program and to apply, visit https://otda.ny.gov/ERAP. Applications can only be submitted online. 

To obtain information about these programs and to submit an electronic application, visit https://mybenefits.ny.gov. Households can also seek assistance by contacting the United Way Helpline, which has access to various local services, by dialing 2-1-1.

If you would like to be notified of possible future opportunities to apply for the New York State ERAP program, please complete the New York State Emergency Rental Assistance Program - Notify Me Form.
