The Brazoria County Emergency Rental Assistance Program is funded by the United States Treasury. Counties across the nation with a populations over 200,000 people were given the choice to opt in to receive direct funding under this grant. Brazoria County chose to opt in because we wanted to make sure that our share of the funding was able to directly benefit the residents of our great County. This program assists residents of rental properties within the County that have experienced a reduction in household income during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Brazoria County’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program will give preference to applicants who are considered "high priority" according to U.S. Treasury Guidelines and Brazoria County’s Policy. Just as when the program launched on June 14, 2021, the County continues to provide preference to high priority households. See Brazoria County’s ERAP Policies (link below) for further information.
