A Texas Rent Relief phone number is a dedicated hotline established by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) to provide financial assistance to eligible tenants who are struggling to pay their rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An example of this would be a tenant who has lost their job or experienced a reduction in income as a result of the pandemic.
The Texas Rent Relief program is a critical resource for tenants facing financial hardship. It provides financial assistance to cover past due and future rent payments, helping to prevent evictions and preserve housing stability. The program was launched in 2020 in response to the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
