Financial Assistance
Programs—
Rent/Mortgage/Utility Assistance
ACHA provides financial assistance for
rent/mortgage and/or utility assistance for county residents. Each
household that receives assistance is also provided with counseling
through ACHA’s Housing Counseling department.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Applicants for the assistance programs are
interviewed to determine their needs, reason(s) for default, and any
barriers that would prevent them from
meeting future obligations. Counselors assist the clients in
preparing budgets and advocates on clients' behalf with landlords or mortgage companies or with the public utility company.
WHAT IF I AM NOT ELIGIBLE?
Applicants not eligible for funding programs are referred to other
agencies.
Rent/Mortgage Assistance
Guidelines
General rent/mortgage assistance program
eligibility requires that the applicant be at risk of becoming
homeless due to delinquency on their rent or mortgage payment
through no fault of their own and must have exhausted all other
available resources.
