The pandemic is still ongoing and thousands of area residents are still struggling with job cutbacks and salary reductions. Thankfully, Fort Bend County is offering millions of dollars in aid to help working people in our region at risk of losing their homes.
On Thursday, September 23rd from 3-7 pm, working families can get real-time help to apply for rental relief. Fort Bend County Judge KP George, Lone Star Legal Aid, the AFL-CIO, and Vineyard Church have combined resources to offer free services to assist people at risk of eviction. More than 1,200 people were helped at a recent event in Harris County in just three hours.
To get help applying, people are encouraged to bring the following documents:
- Proof of ID
- Copy of their current lease
- Proof of income
- Proof of economic hardship (e.g., a layoff letter)
- Proof of housing instability (e.g., an eviction notice or docket number)
