Funding for the Temporary Rental Housing Assistance Program (TRHAP) has doubled from $20 million to $40 million.
The program provides up to $4,000 to landlords on behalf of approved tenant applicants who have been impacted by COVID-19.
It is funded through the CARES Act's Coronavirus Relief Fund and administered by the Connecticut Department of Housing in partnership with the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority and 11 housing counseling agencies across the state.
The online web platform is anticipated to reopen to new applicants in mid-October.
Additionally, the eviction moratorium has been extended until Jan. 1, 2021. This provides protection for tenants who were current on their rent at the beginning of the pandemic and have paid at least a portion of their rent since.
This extension is enacted by Executive Order No. 9E.
