Training Guides:
It is very important that applicants complete applications in full when they first submit the application to a regional administering agency. It can take additional time if applications are incomplete, or if caseworkers are unable to get in contact with the applicant and/or the landlord.
We also encourage tenants to inform their landlord they are applying for rental assistance, as their information will be necessary to complete the approval process.
We have created new guides and FAQs to help community based organizations and service organizations assist households in submitting a complete application.
