**Connecticut Eviction Prevention Funds Available**
Qualifying Connecticut households have access to the Eviction Prevention Fund (EPF), administered by UniteCT through the Department of Housing. Tenants who have a summary process eviction action pending against them may qualify for up to 15 months or $8,500 in a one-time rental assistance payment to cover their rental arrears. Tenants must complete an application with the assistance of Resource Center staff. Contact the UniteCT Call Center to schedule an appointment for assistance (1-844-864-8328).
If the tenant received previous rental assistance through the UniteCT program, the tenant's maximum assistance will carry through to the Eviction Prevention Fund. Thus, between the two programs the tenant is only eligible for up to 15 months or $8,500. The Eviction Prevention Fund is a one-time assistance program. A tenant cannot receive assistance from EPF more than once.
The Eviction Prevention Fund is only processing applications as long as program funds are available. Visit portal.ct.gov/doh/doh/programs/eviction-prevention-fund for more information.
