The state of Missouri’s new rental assistance program using funding through the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) was passed by Congress in December 2020. On February 11, 2021 Governor Parson signed HB 16 into law, which provides more than $324 million in funding for rental and utility assistance for Missourians. Missouri Housing Development Commission will administer this funding under the State Assistance for Housing Relief (SAFHR) program. Please click below for more information.

The Missouri Emergency Rental Arrears Program is a separate program from above, and is utilizing ESG-CV funding authorized through the CARES Act.  This program is open to landlords seeking rental arrears for qualified tenants. Please click below for more information.
