Applications for the Texas Rent Relief Program Portal will close on Thursday just two days after the applications re-opened.
More than 70,000 applications were submitted after the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs re-opened the Texas Rent Relief applications on Tuesday. However, the applications will close on Thursday at 11:59 a.m. as the requests for assistance exceeded the available $96 million in funding.According to the release, the highest number of applications seen in a single day when the portal first opened in 2021 was less than 20,000, so this year the number of submissions more than tripled.
Since the program launched in February 2021, TRR has provided over $2.1 billion in emergency funds for rent and utility relief, served over 316,000 households in 250 Texas counties and prevented evictions for over 21,000 households.Applicants facing eviction will be prioritized, as long as their application includes a valid eviction docket number.
Closing the portal with this new deadline helps ensure program staff can more quickly review applications and distribute the remaining funds.
