More Help For Monroe County Tenants, Landlords

The state eviction moratorium expires Tuesday, August 31, but Monroe County and the City of Rochester still have relief money available to keep people in their homes.

Tenants facing eviction or landlords facing financial losses can call 2-1-1 to be pre-screened for the emergency rental assistance program.

The program has handed out around $16 million since it began in March.

Grants averaging $4,800 have been provided to 3,500 households
