Utah has about $150 million in federal funding to help tenants with outstanding rent, utility payments and other expenses. The state had paid out $41 million in rental assistance by the end of July, according to the state Department of Workforce Services.
The money can go toward rent and other expenses, like utilities and past-due rent. Renters who make 80% of the area’s median income and have financial hardship or instability because of COVID qualify. There is some assistance available not related to COVID. Landlords can also apply on behalf of their tenants.
People who need help paying rent can apply for emergency assistance at rentrelief.utah.gov.
