The Ho-Chunk Housing and Community Development Agency
(HHCDA) announced a one-time rental assistance program in April in response to
the COVID-19 virus and the declared state of emergency. This rental assistant program now extends to
two payments for those applicants approved between April 24 and August 3, 2020.
The Indian Housing Block Grant Program CARES Act funds this
rental assistance program.

assistance program must complete a one-page application. Request the one-page form from HHCDA at

changed, rent amount has changed, or income has changed.

exceed the low-income limits set by HUD, reside in the 14 county service area
