Rental assistance applications closed for now
EVERETT — The main nonprofit that distributes rental assistance for Snohomish County is no longer accepting applications.
It’s unclear when people can start applying for the money again.
“We have to allocate about $30 million, at least, to serve those that we have already enrolled,” said Galina Volchkova, senior director of Housing Services at Volunteers of America. “We have thousands of clients enrolled in the program, waiting for assistance.”
VOA believes it has enough funding to help the roughly 3,400 households it has enrolled. It stopped accepting new applications March 1. Payments are supposed to reach landlords before the end of May. In total, the nonprofit has provided rental assistance to 13,000 households since the pandemic started.
