The Prince George’s County Department of Housing has restarted its Emergency Rental Assistance Program. This program is open to landlords to apply on behalf of their tenants, and to tenants if their landlord refuses to participate in the program.
For this round of funding, the County has partnered with several community non-profit organizations to assist county landlords and tenants with completing the application and uploading it to the proper on-line portal. For information on how to apply for rental assistance, click the button below.
