Local Rent Relief Tracker Available on FAA Website
The Florida Apartment Association has made available a spreadsheet tracking rent relief programs in municipalities and counties around the state. This tool is for member use only and should not be shared with residents or other nonmembers. FAA's Rent Relief Fund Tracker includes a list of cities and counties with populations above 200,000 that were eligible to request payments directly from the U.S. Treasury to establish emergency rental assistance programs. If your property is located in a city or county that is not included on this list, please stay tuned for more details about the State of Florida's rental assistance program in the coming weeks. The tracker is accessible by FAA members only. Read more about rental assistance here.
