Florida rental assistance programs.

Low income renters, the disabled, senior citizens, and others in Florida will get help paying their rent from local assistance programs, charities and the government. Each county and city offers different forms of rental assistance to stop homelessness. Some provide direct financial help to pay rental costs that are overdue.

A number of immediate rent assistance programs are offered in FL, as listed below.

Counties are listed below. Each region has several (if not more) agencies to contact for rent or security deposit help. They may combine resources such as loans or government grants, or a charity may used donated funds to help the low-income Florida tenant with their housing needs.
