Rent and Mortgage Assistance: Community Action provides assistance for first month’s rent, past-due rent, and past due mortgage to low-income individuals experiencing a housing crisis. For rental property, a Housing Quality Standard inspection is conducted and the housing unit must pass the inspection in order for Community Action to assist with the rent. The applicants must be income-eligible and must have ongoing income that will enable them to keep their rent current

Security Deposit Assistance: Community Action provides assistance to pay a security deposit on a house, mobile home, or apartment for income-eligible individuals. The unit must pass a Housing Quality Standard inspection and the lease must be reviewed for prohibited lease terms. The applicants must be income-eligible and must have ongoing income that will enable them to keep their rent current. The maximum security deposit allowed is the fair market rent for the particular housing unit.
