Beverly Launches Rental Assistance Program
The Community Preservation Committee and Beverly City Council helped create a program for residents who lost income due to the coronavirus.
BEVERLY, MA — Beverly has launched a rental assistance program for those "deeply financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic."
The program, created with the help of the Community Preservation Committee and Beverly City Council, is available to those who have experienced difficulty in paying rent as a direct result of income lost to the pandemic, and who are not eligible for other forms of assistance.
To be eligible for the Beverly program, residents must have a household median income at or below 100 percent of area media income. In Beverly, this would be $119,000 for a family of four.
