UPDATE (2/11/2021): Gov. Inslee announced additional funds will soon be available for rent assistance. Once new contracts are in place, the providers below will be able to assist tenants and landlords.
Youth and Young Adult Eviction Rent Assistance Program
Commerce's Eviction Rent Assistance Program (ERAP), funded with federal CARES Act dollars, may prevent evictions by paying past due and current/future rent for people in distress due to COVID-19.
Rental assistance is provided through local housing providers in each community, not directly from Commerce. Please share this ERAP provider list with your network so community members who may be impacted know where to apply.
