Hidalgo County rental assistance.
Low income families in Hidalgo County may be able to receive one time rent help from several charities, churches or government agencies. There are also other housing programs administered to tenants facing eviction, and they range from applications to government grants, free legal aid to stop evictions, and rehousing. As funding is available, there may be resources to cover past due rental expenses or maybe pay the security deposit on a new home.
The non-profits will try to do their best to offer rental assistance. While possible, Hidalgo County based organizations may help with a portion of the cost due, if the applicant meets other conditions. Or if that is not an option, then they will provide referrals to other resources in McAllen or nearby cities.
Salvation Army corp centers, which are based in McAllen as well as other communities, will sometimes have funds available for back rent. Or other services will include emergency shelter or grants for utility bills or transportation. The non-profit tries to prevent evictions in Hidalgo County. Dial (956) 682-1468.
