Broward County Launches $53 Million Emergency Rental Assistance Program |
|
BROWARD COUNTY, FL – Renters in Broward County seeking relief from past due and unpaid rent and utilities may qualify for the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). With a $53 million grant from the U.S. Treasury, Broward County hopes to help stabilize housing and provide greater peace of mind to its most vulnerable renters. The program will provide eligible households with up to 12 months of rent and utility assistance, plus an additional three months if funds are available and it’s determined the extra months are needed to ensure housing stability. Funds must be used to reduce the household’s past due rent and/or utility bills before future payments can be made. Once past due amounts are reduced, future payments for up to three months at a time can be considered. The program will not provide funds to residents already receiving federally funded rental assistance provided for the same time period. To be eligible, a household must be renting a unit, apartment or house within Broward County and include at least one individual who: • Qualifies for unemployment or has experienced a reduction in household income, incurred significant costs, or experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19 • Demonstrates a risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability • Has a household income at or below 80 percent of the area median Applications will be accepted from eligible renters or owners/landlords on behalf of renters as long as the funds remain available. Funds will be paid directly to landlords and utility companies. |
Currently, there are several different issues with the program since its launching.

Now that you, reviewed the abovementioned information. This assignment request is for you to address your ideas not just on a draft idea paper in writing but also in a discussion. Let’s open up this discussion.
You are tasked to present your thoughts and ideas, and progress, about your project in a short TED talk style mini presentation.
In doing so, you are filtering out issues and assessing your project in an early stage. Which is a great thing to do! Also, as this class in an online format it is a perfect way to share your project ideas with fellow students.
You task is to record a 2:30 to 3min presentation about your project!
Include a welcome, a short overview on the organization or agency, the issue or lack of something identified, and your plans & ideas to propose a solution or implementation of new function.
For this assignment, you can create a PowerPoint presentation with footnotes, and I will complete the recording portion of the assignment.
