Yakima and Benton County rental assistance.
Assistance for paying rent is available from both non-profits and government agencies in Benton as well as Yakima County. Based on the income of the family and other factors, the organizations may provide the applicant with a cash grant for rental expenses or they may refer the person to other sources of financial aid.
There are instances in which past due energy bills could also lead to an eviction from a home. Therefore, in some cases, not only may rent help be available but there may be funds for other household bills. If a family needs more time to regain stability, then they can also get information on transitional housing as well as low income apartments in the region. So a wide range of solutions, ranging from motel vouchers to grants, can assist with rent and other needs.
