Landlords without access to internet may call, (360) 695-9677 to refer tenants by phone.

Clark County continues to work with rental assistance providers to have the capacity to open additional rent assistance spots for tenants to apply as soon as possible and will provide application information when available via news release, website and social media posting, and the Council For The Homeless website.

It is important for landlords and tenants to understand that there are additional significant COVID-19 related rental assistance resources, including arrears, for low income households coming that will be made available to the community as capacity becomes available; and that based on federal and state funding requirements, any payments on behalf of tenants can only be made if the tenant remains in the unit when the payment is made.
