Department of Housing and Connecticut Housing Finance Authority launch new web portal to support COVID-19 Temporary Housing Assistance Programs
The Connecticut Department of Housing and the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority today launched a new website to help manage the eligibility and screening process for two new programs that provide housing assistance amid the COVID-19 crisis. The Temporary Rental Housing Assistance Programs (TRHAP) offers rental assistance, while the Temporary Mortgage Assistance Program (T-MAP) offers mortgage assistance for those struggling to pay their housing costs due to the job loss, reduction of work, furlough, or closing of business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Details on TRHAP and T-MAP program eligibility can be accessed by visiting the Department of Housing’s website or the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority’s website.
The T-MAP and TRHAP programs have $10 million each to assist people struggling with housing costs. With rent extensions, forbearance and eviction moratoriums, and other relief measures ending soon, these programs are designed to help people remain in their homes while they work to regain their financial stability.
