Starting March 22, 2021, the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program from the NJ Department of Community Affairs will provide relief to low- and moderate-income households that have had a substantial reduction in income, have qualified for unemployment benefits, incurred significant costs, or experienced a financial hardship due, directly, or indirectly, to the COVID-19 pandemic. A landlord may also apply on behalf of the tenant. Renters may apply for up to a years worth of rent assistance. The application can be found online here https://njdca.onlinepha.com/
