The Texas Rent Relief program was created by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) to provide Texas tenants with financial assistance for rent and utility bills (including past due rent and utilities). TDHCA began accepting applications from landlords and tenants on February 15, 2021.

Note Due to requests for assistance exceeding available funds, the Texas Rent Relief Program closed its portal to new applicants and additional funding requests on November 5, 2021. Applications submitted before November 5, 2021 will continue to be processed until all program funds run out.
