The Kent County Community Action (KCCA) is taking applications for rental assistance for people who are behind on their rent and live in Kent County and outside of the cities of Grand Rapids and Wyoming. The program, made possible through a federal community development block grant, will expire in June of 2023.
In order to participate, the following qualifications must be met:
- Renters must currently be in arrears on their current rent,
- Provide photo ID and Social Security cards for all occupants of the residence,
- Provide proof of all household income for all occupants of the residence,
- Provide a copy of current lease or rental agreement,
- Meet income guidelines, and
- Landlord participation is also required.
Renters who live in the cities of Grand Rapids or Wyoming are not eligible for this funding.
Funding and time is limited; therefore, qualified renters are encouraged to apply quickly. Applications can only be accepted by appointment. To schedule an appointment, call (616) 632-7950. Callers should follow system prompts to leave a message for rental assistance. A staff member will return the call as soon as possible.
