Financial Assistance for Landlords

Rental Assistance through the Opportunity Council may prevent evictions by paying past due, current and future rent for people impacted by the pandemic

Department of Commerce Landlord Mitigation Program  provides landlords with an incentive and added security to work with tenants receiving rental assistance. The program offers up to $1,000 and up to fourteen days’ rent loss to the landlord in reimbursement for some potentially required move-in upgrades, and up to $5,000 in qualifying damages caused by a tenant during tenancy.  

Home and Energy Programs through the Opportunity Council offer bill assistance to eligible households for their home heating and energy bills. Households must be income eligible to receive assistance.  Depending on the time of year, help may be available for electricity, natural gas, propane, heating oil, and wood bills. They also provide rebates, incentives and financing options for multi-family building owners!

Washington State Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) provides individual support and federal relief funds to qualified Washington homeowners behind on their mortgage due to pandemic hardship
