The individual should have delinquent rent, accompanied by a court-scheduled eviction hearing; AND
Individuals must not have received 18 months of previous DEHAP emergency rental assistance historically.
Income at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income for the county of residence. Income must not exceed 80 percent of the income limits set by HUD based on each county’s Fair Market Rent.
