PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
CARES ACT ASSISTANCE
Households in need may be eligible for both rent/mortgage and utility assistance. The maximum amount per assistance type is $800, so a household might qualify for $1,600 in CARES Act assistance, an amount that could go a long way in helping to stabilize a family. A cutoff or eviction notice is not required to qualify for this funding, only a current bill showing a balance due.
Eligibility and documentation information is available on mifa.org/applyonline along with links to the applications for assistance. Please feel free to share this link with your networks. I hope with your help we can reach more in our community who might benefit from this assistance.
