Indiana Emergency Rental Assistance

IHCDA is pleased to offer up to 18 months of rental assistance to eligible households through the Indiana Emergency Rental Assistance (IERA) program. More than 23,600 Hooser households have received rental assistance, and applications for new households are still being accepted.

Eligible households will continue to receive an initial payment which includes payment for past due rent, late fees, and an additional payment of three months of forward-facing rent, up to the maximum of 18 months. Households with months of assistance remaining after their initial payment will be prompted, via email or by logging in to their application portal, to recertify for additional assistance by completing the recertification form online. Landlords should continue to communicate with eligible households concerning their initial payment, its impact on their rental account, and the ability to recertify for additional assistance after their initial payment.
