Medina County rental assistance programs.
Churches and charity agencies in Medina County as well as government organizations can help with paying rent. The financial assistance is for income qualified families, with a focus on tenants close to or with an eviction notice. A combination of charitable and government grants are used to provide rental assistance or help pay a portion of a security deposit.
When seeking help, funds are issued on a first come and served basis to those that qualify. There will normally need to be proof of income, residency and more. Also, in order to receive money for paying a portion of rent, the applicant will need to participate in case management. If the agency determines they want to reduce their risk, in some cases they will issue an interest free loan for the rental costs, and the client needs to repay the money.
As far as the homeless in Medina County, they can make inquiries into transitional housing or security deposit help. Or, if they now have a job, section 8 HUD vouchers can help subsidize their monthly rent and energy bill payments, so that is another option.
