October Rental Assistance screening form is now closed.
- Accepted applicants will be invited by phone for an in-person interview within 1 week.
- We will notify ineligible applicants via email.
Reasons you may be denied ECHO’s Rental Assistance:
- 2-3 months behind on rent or mortgage payment – typically, 1 month past due is the assistance ECHO offers; we encourage people to work with their rental managers to come up with a payment plan to get started in the process of non-eviction and repayment.
- No Income listed – We must see a source of income or a sign-on letter to a new job
- A person/family uses regular financial assistance at ECHO
- Subsidized Housing (HUD, NHA, or income-based) – If your work hours or income go down, reporting the change quickly allows the housing authority to recalculate your rent downward. Contact your housing provider and make sure your documents are in order.
