Congress approves $25 billion in rental assistance. Here’s how to apply

U.S. may be closer to $70 billion.

“While this is a critical start, these provisions will not end the eviction crisis and will not help all renters who desperately need rental assistance to protect their families from harm,” said Emily Benfer, a visiting law professor at Wake Forest University.

For now, here’s what you need to know about accessing the $25 billion fund.
