Landlords Can Now Apply for Funding Using State’s Rental Assistance Portal.

Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced that $125 million in state funding is now available to help landlords that couldn’t participate in the New York State Emergency Rental Assistance Program due to a federal requirement for tenants to participate in the application process.  The full release is available here.

Landlords that have applied to the state’s rental assistance program can complete an application for state funding through their existing account in the online portal or create a new account if they haven’t done so already. The assistance is first come, first serve, and specifically designated for arrears accumulated after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. More information can be found at otda.ny.gov/lrap.

If we can be of assistance, please email us.
