Non-profit agencies and government programs provide rental assistance in Fort Worth and Tarrant County Texas. Listed below are many of the organizations that focus on providing emergency rent help, low income housing, shelter, and other basic needs to qualified low to moderate income individuals, the unemployed, and seniors in Tarrant County.
Most of the agencies and government programs have limited funding and/or waiting lists, so unfortunately their resources are limited. However, even if an organization can’t help you, they can oftentimes refer people to other local charities, churches, or government aid, such as section 8 housing vouchers.
The primary goal of the Fort Worth rental programs is to prevent evictions. However some locations may also have money to assist with paying security deposits, moving costs, or first month’s rent as well. Call to get more information and further details.
