Mission, TX- The City of Mission Community Development Department is now accepting applications for the Texas Emergency Rental Assistance Program (TERAP).
TERAP provides rental assistance to income-eligible households economically impacted by COVID-19 to help them stay housed during the pandemic. The program can pay up to 6 months of an eligible Mission household’s rent with at least one of those months covering a month of future rent. Applicants must have income at or below HUD-specified income limits of 80%, and cannot have any duplication of assistance. Units that are already receiving assistance or are public housing units are not eligible.
The City of Mission is receiving TERAP funding through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant CARES Act funds.
