Toledo emergency rental assistance portal reopened

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - The Toledo Lucas County Emergency Rental Assistance Program (TLCERAP) application portal, which assists eligible households with up to 15 months of assistance, is reopened for applications through September 30.

The program includes current and future rent, past due rent, late fees, new renter fees, security deposits, utility deposits, and utility payments. Grants are awarded based on priorities established U.S. Department of Treasury.

Applicants who have already started an application or previously received assistance may apply for additional funds through their existing application. If you have met the program limits, you will not be eligible for any additional assistance.

“To date, this program has assisted just under 4,000 households in Toledo-Lucas County with more than $20 million dollars in assistance. We are reopening the portal to make sure that everyone who is eligible has an opportunity to get the help needed to stabilize their housing,” Housing Commissioner Tiffanie McNair said.

This is the final opportunity to apply for the funds this year.
