Royal Oak Rental Assistance Program

Press release from the City of Royal Oak:

The Royal Oak City Commission has entered into contract with the South Oakland Shelter and Legal Aid & Defender Association to operate a rental assistance program on behalf of the city.

The program is designed to keep no, low- and moderate-income Royal Oak renters from being evicted. Many households have experienced a loss of employment or significant reduction in income due to COVID-19. Renters may be eligible for financial assistance for unpaid rent and/or utilities dating back no more than three months. Payments are made directly to landlords, not the renter household.

People in need of help may contact either of the below organizations.
