Updated Assistance to pay late rent and utilities owed due to COVID-19.

Update: Applications closed November 14, 2021. Any applications that have already been submitted will be reviewed by the State and payment will depend on available funding.

• If you need assistance, apply for Cash Assistance or One Shot Deal emergency assistance from NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA). If you applied for ERAP earlier, include proof of your ERAP application with your HRA application for rental assistance.
• If you are at risk of eviction, you may be eligible for free legal assistance. Call 311 and ask for “Tenant Helpline.”
• If you are an NYC resident and your household income is between 80% and 120% area median income (AMI), you can apply for a new state-funded program through the ERAP application portal. Immigration status will not be requested.
• Sign up for notifications from NY State for possible future opportunities to apply for NY State ERAP. We encourage everyone to complete this form so there is a record to request more federal funds.

If you applied to ERAP before November 14, 2021 at 10pm:

• You can check the status of your application at the ERAP portal.
• If you need help navigating next steps or tracking your application, all 311 and ask for “Tenant Helpline.”
