Rent Assistance

The Rental Assistance Program (RAP) - First and Last Month's Rent - is designed to help people who have fallen behind in rental payments or who need money for a security deposit.  The City provides money to a non-profit organization, ECHO which draws up contracts between tenants and landlords to pay the amount owed in installments.  The agreement is co-signed by ECHO.  Contact ECHO.
