Do you rent your home? Did you lose your job or experience a loss of income? Are you behind on your rent or facing eviction? Did you receive a shutoff notice from your utility? You may be eligible for help.

You are eligible if you:
• Are a renter in Florida;
• Are low-income;
• Have qualified for unemployment, experienced a loss of income, incurred significant costs or faced financial hardships; and
• Are at risk of losing your home.

 If you are a renter, collect all of these documents that apply:

I have already received relief. Can I still apply?
If you have already received assistance through the CARES Act, state and local relief funds, or private, non-profit organizations, the rent or utility bills that were covered by these programs are not eligible for payments through OUR Florida. Rent and utility bills that were not covered by these programs may be eligible for support from OUR Florida.
