DOLTON – Due to a high number of working families losing their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic, State Senator Napoleon Harris, III (D-Harvey) is encouraging Illinois tenants who have missed rental payments to apply for the Illinois Housing Development Authority’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
“Many low-income workers and households lack the financial capacity to afford rental payments with missed paychecks,” Harris said. “Emergency rental assistance provides rental support for tenants who need it most during uncertain economic times. I encourage tenants who missed rent payments to apply for the rental assistance program.”
