TRR Application Portal Now Closed

At this time, the Texas Rent Relief program has committed all available funds and is now closed.

During the recent re-opening of the application portal on March 14, 2023, requests for assistance far exceeded available funding within the first 24 hours. During the week of March 26, 2023, applicants who will not be assisted were notified that TRR would not be able to fund their requests given the program has already committed all available funds. Unfortunately, this decision cannot be appealed.

If you received a notice stating your application would not be funded, and you are still in need of rent or utility assistance, please visit the Help for Texans webpage, call 2-1-1 or visit 2-1-1 Texas, or visit TRR’s announcement page for information on emergency rent and utility assistance.

For applications currently in progress, TRR continues to review and process applications based on the order received, prioritizing applicants with active eviction cases. Applicants with active applications should watch for communication from TRR in case additional information is needed to process their application.

Alternative Assistance Options

For alternative assistance options, visit the Help for Texans webpage or call 2-1-1 Texas for information on organizations that are helping Texans with emergency rent and utility assistance.
