The City of St. Louis has opened applications for an Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Here’s the link to more information and the application: https://forwardplatform.com/updated-city-of-st-louis-cdbg-cv-emergency-assistance-program/#docs   The program will provide a one-time payment to an applicants verified landlord to cover past-due rent charges. This payment is to help prevent evictions for those experiencing financial hardship. Our social workers have offered to help you fill out the application if you need assistance.  

Call 314-968-9000 and ask for Emma or Marie.
