As of July 15, Connecticut's Temporary Rental Housing Assistance (TRHAP) and Temporary-Mortgage Assistance (T-MAP) Programs are now available.
Temporary Rental Housing Assistance Program:
- Initial priority for TRHAP assistance will be targeted at individuals and families who have been denied unemployment assistance from the Department of Labor. Potential applicants will be directed to a Centralized Call Center for Threshold eligibility, after which a detailed application must be completed.
- Individuals who are unemployed or under-employed and who have not yet filed for unemployment assistance should file for as soon as possible.
- Individuals who would like to speak to a Call Center Representative to determine their eligibility for TRHAP assistance can call 1-860-785-3111.
Temporary-Mortgage Assistance Program:
- The program will provide up to $10,000 in emergency loan funds for low and moderate income homeowners to pay their housing costs.
- Eligible households with incomes at or below 120 percent of the area median income will be eligible to apply for up to $25,000 in the form of a second mortgage loan.
- Individuals who would like to speak with a Call Center Representative to determine their eligibility and apply should call 1-860-785-3111.
