State Program Offers Financial Help To Renters

The City of Roswell wants to make local renters aware of a financial-assistance program being made available by the State of New Mexico. The Emergency Rental Assistance Program offers help with rent, utility bills and other housing-related costs to qualifying individuals and households.

The assistance is available to renters who meet certain household income limits and can show a financial impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Detailed eligibility requirements, as well as more information about the program, are found online at RentHelpNM.org. The application process can also be found at that website.
