INDIANA – Indiana Emergency Rental Assistance (IERA) closed its portal for new applications.
This change will only impact households who have not completed and submitted an IERA application by the deadline.
Households already receiving an IERA benefit have a full 18 months of assistance reserved for them. Households currently receiving a benefit will need to continue to recertify every three months. These households may log in to their application and complete the Recertification Application when it becomes available, typically around the middle of the month, the month before their rent is due.
Households who apply prior to the deadline will have their applications processed. These applicants should continue to check their email and respond to any requests from IERA staff for additional information or documentation.
Those that have not applied by today at 5 p.m. should register at IndianaHousingNow.org to receive a notification if and when the portal reopens.IERA staff will continue to process applications while the portal is closed until all available funding has been exhausted.
Weekly updates on Hoosier households assisted and funds expended will be posted HERE.
