On March 4, 2021, Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) relaunched the Emergency Rental Assistance program for renters experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the relaunch of the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) Program, eligible owners, landlords or property managers can apply on behalf of their tenants to receive financial assistance for past due rental payments dating back to April 1, 2020.  Funding for this program will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis.  DHCD encourages owners, landlords, and property managers to apply immediately.
