Emergency Rental Assistance Program

Organization: United Planning Organization

If you are facing eviction and homelessness, UPO can help obtain payment for overdue rent, a security deposit for a new residence, or your first month’s rent at a new home.–need to add for severe cases, first come first serve, etc. They receive tons of requests for this service that doesn’t move them to self-sufficiency. We work with the federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) to support the needs of low-income DC residents and their families who are experiencing immediate housing crises. All ERAP payments are made directly to the landlord, court, or court marshals.
