Emergency Rent Assistance
Saturday, December 5th, 2009
The purpose of Champaign County Regional Planning Commision’s Emergency Rent Assistance Program is to help homeless households obtain housing and near-homeless retain housing. Services provided in this program include information and referral, assistance with landlord negotiations, housing counseling, and emergency rent assistance.
You may be eligible for rent assistance if:
- You have steady income to pay future rent.
- You have not received rent assistance from our office in the past 24 months.
- Your rent and utilities combined do not exceed two-thirds (66%) of your income. We must always add $100 for utilities, unless they are included in your rent. For example, $400/month rent + 100/month utilities = $500/ 66% = $758 income needed
- You are homeless or near-homeless (homeless means that you do not have a permanent residence, this includes households residing in shelters, staying with family or friends, or staying in a place not usually used for sleeping (car, street. etc.)

Hi – all assistance is locally based, I need information on where you are so I can find programs in your area. Also, please remember that posts here become public information – I remove phone numbers and other identifying information to keep you safe. Please don’t post that info anywhere on the internet – the scammers will swoop in on you.
