Texas Rent Relief Update: Applications Now Under Review

The Texas Rent Relief Program has begun full reviews of all applications since the new system upgrade on March 13. To date, more than $1.285 million has been paid to eligible households. We understand the urgency in which this rent and utility assistance is needed, and fully expect the review and payment approval process to ramp up significantly.

To help the review process move more quickly, please be sure to act on the following:

  • Respond to email or phone call contacts from TRR analysts requesting missing required information or documents,
  • Log into your account and be sure contact information is completed and correct,
  • Hit the “Submit” button to officially get an application started for review (even if you believe you submitted in the prior application system), and
  • Check email spam or junk folders in case an email about your application may have landed there.

If you have questions about applying or need assistance with your application, please contact us toll-free at 833-9TX-RENT (833-989-7368) Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m., or email us at info@texasrentrelief.com.

Funds are still available, and TDHCA encourages eligible households to apply.
