King County Allocates $41M to COVID-19 Rental Assistance, Eviction Prevention

King County allocated more than $41 million in funding for eviction prevention and rental assistance. The program is expected to help up to 10,000 households experiencing COVID-19-related economic challenges remain safe and stable in their homes.

King County Executive Dow Constantine says, “Many people are facing serious challenges due to COVID-19 and the loss of health or income, leaving them extremely vulnerable to eviction. This emergency program will forestall the loss of housing and prevent homelessness for thousands of residents in need across King County.”

Nearly $18 million is dedicated to a fund that is available to larger residential property managers and landlords with multiple residents needing assistance. Efforts will focus on Low Income Tax Credit properties and properties in the zip codes with the highest unemployment and COVID-19 disease burdens.
