Department of Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance Program - Supplement from Land of Lincoln Legal Aid

October 21, 2021 3:34 PM | Christopher Smith (Administrator)

Land of Lincoln Legal Aid has provided the following informational supplement regarding the Department of Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance Program:

As a follow up, at Land of Lincoln we’ve been finding it has been hard to connect with the agency who is assigned to cover the southern half of Illinois. It is my understanding they are doing the best they can but have limited staff to face the onslaught of need. Since that is the case, several other agencies have been given more money and they are supposed to accept ANY rental application REGARDLESS OF location. We’ve been able to connect with two of these agencies to confirm they will accept applications outside of their listed service area. Most notably- Quad City Community Development Center in Southern Illinois did confirm they’ll accept applications for anyone in Southern Illinois.

Please feel free to pass this along bankruptcy attorneys so they can provide it to debtors.
