 TITLE: How to Fight an Eviction CONTENT: See if You Qualify for Rental or Financial Assistance\n-----------------------------------------------------\nThe U.S. Treasury Department is making it easier for state and local governments to distribute emergency rental assistance (ERA) to households whose finances have been affected by the pandemic. Search for emergency rental assistance in your area through the National Low Income Housing Coalition, 211.org, FindHelp.org, Benefits.gov or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.\nYou can also seek other types of assistance, such as that offered by local religious groups or food banks. Contact your local utility provider to see if they're offering relief or look for assistance with utility bills. Also explore options for credit card and debt relief from your lenders. Put the money you'd normally spend on those expenses toward the rent. END
