Washington County is offering an expedited application process to assist owners of multifamily affordable rental housing projects located in the County that have been impacted by the loss of rental revenue associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this funding is three-fold:

• To provide relief to landlords

• To provide relief to tenants who have not been able to fulfill their rental obligations due to the pandemic

• To stabilize subsidized housing projects so that they can continue fulfilling the mission of providing quality housing to Washington County households with modest incomes

Use of Funds: Funds received through this program must first be applied toward back due rent, and the payments must be credited to the accounts of tenants with rent in arrears. Properly documented modifications related to Covid-19 and occurring March 1 – December 30, 2020, may receive secondary consideration if sufficient funds are available. Decisions regarding awards for modifications and delayed maintenance and repair costs will be made at the sole discretion of the County and are dependent upon eligibility and funding availability.
