With newly available federal money, the State of Iowa rolled out another program to provide rental assistance to Iowans and otherwise prevent homelessness by preventing imminent eviction. This newest program is targeted to low-income Iowans.
Program Overview
On December 4, Gov. Kim Reynolds announced nearly $9 million in supplemental CARES Act money will now flow through the Iowa Finance Authority and its local partnering agencies to provide (1) rental payment assistance to low-income Iowans facing eviction and (2) assistance to transition homeless Iowans back to housing. Specifically, 35 agencies were awarded a total of $8.8 million in Emergency Solutions Grant Program funds. The full list of awards is available here.
