Rent Assistance

Applications for the Eviction Prevention Rental Assistance program will only be accepted on the first business day of each month, from 8:30am to 4:30pm.
We no longer have funding for Deposit Assistance.

Emergency Rent Assistance

NeighborImpact provides eviction prevention assistance to qualified applicants who live

in Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties, including Warm Springs. Tenants who are

behind on rent payments and have been served with a notice for non-payment of rent

or court summons for eviction may be able to receive limited* financial assistance.

 

Who Qualifies:

  • Tenants with an active eviction case due to non-payment of rent
  • Tenants with a pending first court appearance due to non-payment of rent
  • Tenants with an eviction court summons due to non-payment of rent
  • Tenants with valid notice to vacate due to non-payment of rent

 

Please Note:

  • An application is not a guarantee of assistance
  • Meeting qualifications is not a guarantee of assistance
  • Clients cannot be served more than once in a rolling 12mos period
  • Household assistance caps will limit the total amount of assistance

 

*The Rent Assistance program is not an extended-term rental payment program. In most cases, only a limited amount of past-due rent charges will be paid. When forward rent is available, no more than one or two months may be provided, and forward rent is never guaranteed.
