The United States Treasury has just launched a new website to help renters find local emergency rental assistance programs. NJ renters can also still apply to the state’s Emergency Rental Assistance lottery program until the funding runs out. NJ renters, landlords and homeowners can also get assistance by visiting www.housinghelpnj.org or calling 888-691-3002.

FEMA has created a funeral reimbursement program, for any family member who lost loved ones to COVID-19. To apply, you must call 844-684-6333; this call center is open from Monday through Friday, 9am to 9pm. Applicants are eligible for up to $9,000 per burial to cover transportation, urns or caskets, death certificate fees, or the arrangement of the services. This program will reimburse families as far back as January 20, 2020, and is in effect nationwide. The deceased person in question can also be recognized as a documented or undocumented resident . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgHYxw8ifRM
