As of January 13, 2022, Texas Rent Relief committed over 99% of its total funding. On March 14, 2022, the U.S. Department of Treasury announced limited additional funding of $47.8 million will be coming to the TRR program.

With the new funding, TRR is reviewing and processing some of the applications already on file, prioritizing those in eviction proceedings until all remaining funds are allocated. Unfortunately, we will not be able to assist everyone who applied and TRR will not be accepting new applications. On 04/01/2022, the TRR program emailed all applicants who will not be funded with the new additional funding, a final letter letting them know they will not be funded.
