Hernando and Citrus County rental assistance.
Families facing eviction or that are behind on their rent can apply for emergency assistance. Agencies across Hernando County provide support to tenants, and the programs assist with everything from security deposits to back rent.
While the funding is limited due to demand and the challenging economy, agencies across the region try to provide money to pay a portion of rent that may be due to a landlord. There are a combination of churches as well as charity organizations in Hernando County and other regions that offer this form of rental assistance.
Clients include low income families, the disabled, single parents, and senior citizens among others. In addition to funds for paying rent or other housing needs, case management and mediation is coordinated too.
