Rent Assistance refers to financial support provided to individuals or families who struggle to pay their rent. This assistance can come from various sources, including government programs, non-profit organizations, and community services. The goal is to help people maintain stable housing and avoid eviction, especially during times of financial hardship. Eligibility for Rent Assistance often depends on factors such as income level, family size, and specific circumstances like job loss or medical emergencies. Applications typically require documentation to verify financial need, and assistance can be offered as direct payments to landlords or as vouchers for future rent payments.
