City of Tucson issued the following announcement on Sept. 16.
The City of Tucson and Pima County’s Eviction Prevention Program, administered by the Community Investment Corporation, is currently leading the nation in distributing funds to renters in need during the pandemic, according to a report from Arizona Public Media. The National Low Income Housing Coalition reports that Pima County has approved or paid nearly 80% of its share of the funds, compared to 30% nationally. Jennie Grabel, the director of marketing and communications for the Community Investment Corporation, said the program distributes about $1 million dollars in assistance every week. Grabel said her highest concern at the moment is that landlords are aware the funds are available and are willing to work with her team to keep as many Pima County residents in their homes as possible. The assistance includes up to 12 months of back rent and three months of future rent for qualifying tenants.
