Program Overview
RRRP Phase II extends the eligible timeframe of RRRP for arrears accrued through June 30, 2022 in recognition of the on-going impacts of the pandemic on housing stability. Applications were extended to qualified households that were served by the first round of assistance but still unstably housed in 2022, were not served by the King County Eviction Prevention and Rent Assistance Program, and/or who contacted the City to be placed on a waitlist prior to June 30, 2022 in the event the City offered assistance for 2022 arrears. This program is not open to the public at this time.
The City has allotted an additional $1.15 million in ARPA funding towards the program extension. Following outreach to assess current need, the City is referring eligible households to submit applications with partner agencies 4Tomorrow, Eastside Legal Assistance Program, and IAWW.
