Short Term Rental Mortgage Assistance, (STRMU)

STRMU is time-limited housing assistance designed to prevent homelessness and increase housing stability. The amount of assistance varies per client depending on funds available, tenant need, and program guidelines.

ELIGIBLE EXPENSES

• Rent and mortgage assistance

Must be reasonable and represent actual housing costs.

• Unlike TBRA assistance, tenants are not required to pay a percentage of their income towards the rent or mortgage payment. However, if they are able, clients should pay a portion of their housing costs

  • Utility assistance

• Security deposits maybe available under another program if funding is available.

Ineligible Expenses

• First month's rent

STRMU assistance is designed to help homeowners and renters stay in their current place of residence; as a result, security deposits and first month’s rent are not eligible costs under STRMU.
