Arlington and Alexandra rent assistance.
Several agencies, churches and charities provide emergency assistance for paying rent across the region of Alexandria as well as Arlington County. The local municipal government, in particular the Department of Human Services, is focused on homeless prevention and there are several non-profits as well. A combination of grants can be issued for paying rental expenses and some agencies even offer loans for a security deposit using government funds.
Families should contact an organization as soon as they fall behind on their rent. By the time they have an eviction notice it may be too late. The application process is extensive, and any emergency rental assistance will be combined with case management. The agencies often provide services in both region, and if a location in Arlington County can't assist then they may refer a client to an Alexandria site, or vice-versa.
