Dallas County residents may be losing access to millions in rent relief at the end of the month.In about a week, Dallas County residents will lose access to about $17 million in rent relief money, according to the housing advocacy group Texas Housers.
Dallas County also has the option to reallocate the funds to the Texas Rent Relief fund, a pot of rental assistance cash available to qualifying applicants across the state during the pandemic. The county’s money, however, is only available to applicants who live outside of Dallas' city limits but within the county.
By partnering nonprofit organizations with the on-the-ground infrastructure needed to spread the message and the skills to guide renters through the application process, the city was able to distribute funds efficiently, said Mark Melton, founder and lead attorney at the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center.
