You are invited to join this webinar, Rental Assistance Program in Pinellas County, on Friday, November 4, at 11AM.  The webinar will showcase multiple rent assistance programs that property managers may want to direct residents to if they need short-term help.  Presenters will include representatives from:

Each organization has one or more assistance programs they are managing that could provide help to residents in need and will briefly review their programs and take questions on them.

Background

Over the last couple of years, Pinellas County residents in need of financial assistance to help cover rent and/or utilties were helped through Emergency Rental Assistance Programs funded by the Federal government.  These funds were exhausted in summer 2022.  That said, there are still many Pinellas County residents in need of assistance, local agencies are providing a variety of other programs to partially fill this void.  This webinar will focus on many of these alternative/new programs that provide rental and/or utility assistance to qualifying residents.  Come learn about these programs so you can help direct applicable residents to these resources.
