Cook County Rental Assistance Program Deadline Extended

Press release from the City of Park Ridge:

The COVID 19 Rental Assistance Application Timeline has been extended to August 24th at 4:00pm., due to the recent weather scenarios that left portions of the County's residents without power and other services for an extended period.

The Rental Assistance program helps suburban Cook County residents having difficulty paying their rent as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It pays up to three months of overdue or future rent.

Rental payments will be sent directly to landlords by the Housing Authority of Cook County. The program is part of the Cook County Community Recovery Initiative, funded by the federal CARES Act.
