NATIONAL RENTAL RELIEF PROGRAM (NRRP)

The National Rental Relief Program (NRRP) started in January 2020 to help Tenants in the U.S. apply for benefits offered by county, state, and federal agencies.

 

NRRP helps with the application submission process to ensure that applications submitted are in full compliance. In 2020, tenants' applications were denied for the simplest things, such as failure to upload documents, not responding promptly to case managers, and missing interviews. NRRP is a community partner that works with Attorneys, Landlords, Courts, and Funding Agencies across the U.S. to help reduce the homeless crisis that is currently happening in 2025 due to a lack of guidance and understanding of the eviction crisis and the consequences of what is happening to the tenant once they have been evicted. 60% of Tenants who were evicted report that it is difficult to rent anywhere in the U.S. In 2022, NRRP began helping Tenants seal evictions that are currently on their record and resolving negative credit reports to help gain a fresh start. Once you are enrolled in the NRRP, you may request a referral for the FRESH CREDIT PROGRAM

What is the difference between Funding Agencies and  NRRP? 

 

Upon enrollment in the Rental Relief Program, an administrator will contact the Landlord to verify program enrollment to report updates on rental assistance application status, including Full Compliance, Non-Compliance, Pending, Approvals, or Denials.  Payment arrangements with a Landlord often help prevent TENANTS from being evicted while waiting for your application to be completely processed. Enrollment in the NRRP does not guarantee approvals before or after any upcoming court hearing date. Funding can take 1 to 6 months to process. Agencies such as CHAP, CAP, etc. will not make ANY contact with your landlord other than sending an IRS W-9 form and a Landlord Verification Form that asks the landlord for the amount of rent owed by the tenant. Agencies WILL NOT assist a Tenant with court filings (motions, appeals, or eviction seals).NRRP helps assist Tenants through the entire eviction process, beyond receiving funding for the rent. 

There is a non-refundable fee of $75.00 that will be billed to you upon enrollment.

You may request an extension by selecting a future payment date on the rental assistance application 

If you are interested in applying for utility assistance, the Admin fee is $95.00.

Please note: All Admin Fee are non-refundable.

NRRP is a proud supporter of the Eviction Diversion Program (EDP), a collaborative effort to help tenants facing eviction maintain stable housing.

 

The EDP is a joint effort between the court, county, and community partners. It's designed to help tenants, landlords, and the community by:

  • Reducing the number of unhoused people

  • Preventing unpaid accounts receivable for landlords

  • Creating a positive impact on the community 

Eviction diversion programs are an effective strategy to mitigate the impact of evictions on tenants and communities.

The initiative focuses specifically on marginalized renters, such as those on a fixed income, seniors, and those living with a disability.

 

​To apply for assistance, complete the application below.

You will be notified via email if you reside in a city without funding. 

Please note: Submitting an Application does not mean the Application is approved.

 

In some states, utility assistance is not available. If you need utility assistance, we will help you with an energy assistance application.

 Applications can take 30-120 days to process. It is recommended that you maintain current payments until the application is processed.
