City and County of Denver’s Emergency Rental Assistance program provides financial assistance to families that are unable to pay rent and utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Emergency Rental Assistance program will be administered by Denver’s Department of Housing Stability (HOST). The financial assistance is available to renter individuals and families earning up to 80 percent of the area median income, up to $54,950 for a single-person household, or up to $78,500 for a family of four.

To qualify, households must include at least one member who qualifies for unemployment or has experienced a reduction in household income, incurred significant costs, or experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19. Households must also demonstrate a risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Eligible households that include an individual who has been unemployed for the 90 days prior to application for assistance and households with income at or below 50 percent of the area median income, up to $35,950 for a single-person household, or up to $50,000 for a household of four, are to be prioritized.
