THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 Page 21 Baker-Polito Admin. announces $20M in rental and mortgage assistance for households affected by COVID-19 pandemic BOSTON — The Baker-Polito Administration announced on Tuesday a new $20 million, statewide fund to assist low-income households facing difficulty making rent and mortgage payments. The Emergency Rental and Mortgage Assistance (ERMA) program will provide direct funding to eligible households that have suff ered fi - nancial hardship during the State of Emergency put in place to combat the spread of COVID-19. ERMA will expand eligibility for rental and mortgage assistance to more low-income households that have been impacted by the crisis by adjusting the income threshold beyond the state’s traditional Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) program. This includes households within the 50-80% range of Area Median Income (AMI). Like the RAFT program, ERMA will provide up to $4,000 for eligible households to pay rent or mortgage payments in arrears going back to payments due April 1, 2020. Beginning July 1, 2020, applicants can reach out to the 11 agencies that administer RAFT on the state’s behalf, this includes the nine Housing Consumer Education Centers as well as Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood Development (LHAND) and the Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance. Funding for the new program includes $10 million from the supplemental Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) fund, which is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), in addition to other federal resources. This new funding will serve twice as many households as the traditional RAFT program by greatly expanding eligibility to families who would otherwise not qualify for RAFT. This new emergency program builds on the Administration’s work to stabilize families during this uncertain time. In March, Governor Baker announced a $5 million expansion of RAFT.

The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has drafted emergency regulations to protect tenants under the eviction and foreclosure moratorium, supported state-aided public housing and aff ordable housing operators with guidance and worked with stakeholders across the state to coordinate resources. Additional resources and information can be found on the DHCD COVID-19 Resource Page. DHCD has received more than $160 million in federal funding through the CARES Act, including more than $20 million which has been distributed to Community Action Agencies for antipoverty work, and DHCD is preparing to allocate additional funding for shelter providers and municipalities. In addition, DHCD is working with the Citizens’ Housing & Planning Association (CHAPA) and the Massachusetts Housing Partnership to track local emergency rental assistance programs and other resources available to those aff ected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Last week the Baker-Polito Administration unveiled a COVID-19 economic recovery package to respond to challenges brought on by the pandemic. The $275 million package, which is designed to promote equity across the Commonwealth, proposes $40 million for neighborhood stabilization to bring safe, aff ordable housing units back on the market and $10 million for sustainable, climate-resilient aff ordable housing, and includes the language of An Act to promote housing choices, the Administration’s bill to advance new housing production in Massachusetts by reforming zoning laws. * Crack Repairing * Pot Hole Filling * Striping Handicapped Spaces * Free Estimates Tom’s Seal Coating Call Gary: 978-210-4012 Space for Lease 3 Large Rooms, each with Large Walk-in Storage Area. or Aerobics Studio.
