DEARBORN, MI— Following the Supreme Court's recent ruling that overturned a federal ban on home evictions, the City of Dearborn reminded residents on Twitter they can apply for short-term emergency rental/mortgage and utility assistance.
In order to qualify for the program, you must be a Dearborn resident with low to moderate earnings and attribute a loss of income to a COVID-19 related reason.
The maximum award per resident household is $5,000 and can be used to covered rent, gas, electricity, water, homeowners insurance and mortgage payments (but not toward a mortgage foreclosure).
