The county is still distributing federal rent relief to renters who have experienced income loss due to the pandemic.

The federal funds supporting the program are close to running out.

Montgomery County, Maryland, has distributed millions of dollars in rent assistance, with another $34 million on the way.

The money will help renters and housing providers cover unpaid rental payments and utilities like water, gas, and electricity.

The city plans to cover 80% of a tenant’s rent arrears, up to $2,000 a month, if the landlord forgives the remaining 20%.
