Rent assistance Salt Lake County and City.
Find details on non-profits, charities, churches and government assistance programs that help with rent in the Salt Lake area. Get access to low income housing, grant money for paying a portion of a security deposit, legal aid and other resources. There are a number of Salt Lake City as well as regional county programs that offer emergency rental assistance for income qualified families or tenants.
While funding is limited and a formal application process is in place, anyone that is struggling can call an agency below to apply for emergency rent funds. The goal of many of the programs is to prevent evictions, keep people in their homes and apartments, or reduce homelessness. There is also rehousing from some agencies, and this will offer funds for a security deposit or possibly a motel voucher to keep a family stable while they seek permanent accommodations. The low income, elderly, people with children, and disabled receive first priority in when applying for rent help from Salt Lake City agencies.
Call for help early, before you receive an eviction notice. The earlier you start the process the better. Some services can even help deal with tenant and landlord issues, in addition to offering grants as a form of emergency rent help.
