https://www.mohousingresources.com/erap
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.
Missouri Emergency Rental Arrears Program (ERAP) is a separate program from above using ESG-CV funding authorized through the CARES Act. This program is open to landlords seeking rental arrears for qualified tenants.

This program assists moderate, low, and very low-income applicants obtain decent, safe and sanitary housing in eligible rural areas (any area or town less than 35,000 people) by providing payment assistance to increase an applicant’s repayment ability.
