The Emergency Rental Assistance program makes available federal assistance for households that are unable to pay rent and utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds are provided directly to States, U.S. Territories, local governments, and Indian tribes. Grantees use the funds to provide assistance to eligible households through existing or newly created rental assistance programs.

If you have submitted your application, you can check the status here.

All applicants whose applications were in Pending Review Status were e-mailed on August 8 and advised that their case could not be reviewed or processed as funds had run out. Those applicants who received an award letter via email with a dollar amount of assistance, and who would like a status on their case, should send an email to EmergencyRentalAssistanceProgram@miamigov.com – please include your case number in the e-mail, which starts with CME or CMS.
