The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, allocated Coronavirus Relief Fund dollars from the U.S. Treasury for emergency rental assistance. Team Kentucky’s program is described as follows. You may apply by reading through program information and creating an account at  https://teamkyhherf.ky.gov/ . 

Purpose

  • Assist Kentucky tenants with RENT and/or UTILITIES to keep them housed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Allow landlords to get substantial payments for back rent.
  • Reduce the volume of eviction cases in Kentucky courts.

Timelines

  • Application portal opened on February 15, 2021.
  • Assistance will be paid as lump sum payments to landlords and utilities.
  • Assistance with back rent and utility bills can be calculated back to April 1, 2020.
  • Applications will close when funds are exhausted or program funding expires.

Eligible Tenant applicants must meet ALL of the following:

  • Tenants in any Kentucky county outside of Fayette County and Jefferson County.
  • Experienced income reduction/loss or other economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Depending on past due bills, tenant applicants may seek assistance with rent, utilities, or both.
