The Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) is pleased to announce the second round of pre-applications for the Temporary Rental Assistance Grant initiative, which will provide $30 million in temporary rental assistance to Coloradans at risk of eviction or displacement or who meet income limits and other qualifying factors.
Pre-applications will open on the Department of Local Affairs’ website this Friday, March 15, and will be accepted until 5:00pm on March 20. The pre-application process will start on the fifteenth (15) day of each month, while funds are available. Funds must be spent by June 30, 2024.
Following this pre-application period, DOLA will conduct a random selection process to invite individuals to complete a full application. The Department will continue to prioritize applicants experiencing eviction that have a verified court summons; however, having a court summons is not a requirement to apply.
In the random selection process, the timing of submission does not impact an applicant’s chances of receiving rental assistance. Submitting a pre-application earlier in the application window does not increase the likelihood of receiving rental assistance. All eligible applicants who submit a pre-application by 5:00pm on March 20, 2024 will be entered into the random selection process.
For more information on the pre-application process, please visit the Temporary Rental Assistance Grant initiative website.
