In a move to support its residents grappling with financial difficulties, the City of Tamarac has announced a comprehensive Residential Assistance Program aimed at offering much-needed relief to those struggling to keep up with housing costs.
The initiative extends a lifeline to residents facing difficulties with mortgage payments, rent, rent hikes, and overdue homeowner association (HOA) or condominium fees.
Under the umbrella of this initiative, the City has rolled out several targeted programs:
Applications for these programs will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, a system put in place to ensure fairness and efficiency, and applications will remain active until the allocated funds are completely utilized.
In a step to streamline the process, payments will be issued directly to landlords or mortgage companies on behalf of the approved applicants. To facilitate this, applicantsmusto obtain a W-9 form from their landlord or mortgage company for the City to process the payment.
Prospective applicants are urged to meticulously read and follow the instructions provided on Neighborly, which requires users to register or sign in to start their application process.
