District residents earning less than 40% of the Area Median Income (AMI) who are facing housing emergencies can receive funding for overdue rent including late fees and court costs if a qualified household is facing eviction.
The program also supports security deposits and first month’s rent for residents moving into new apartments. The amount paid on behalf of eligible households depends on a household’s income and available resources, and is subject to certain limitations.
Application: There are 2 ways you can apply for ERAP. You can go to www.erap.dhs.dc.gov and submit an application and upload the required documents* online. This can be done on a computer or on a smart phone/tablet. You may also submit a completed paper application with supporting documents at any of the 6 Community Based Organizations* that provide ERAP.
