New updates have been made to UniteCT, which include:
-Covering arrears accrued since the national emergency was declared on March 13, 2020, rather than only those accrued in the last six months
-Reimbursing landlords for 100% of covered arrears, rather than only 85%
-Covering three full months of prospective rent, rather than requiring certain tenants to contribute a portion of their income
-Protecting tenants by preventing evictions for nonpayment of rent during the months covered by the prospective rent payments
-Relying where possible, on information about an applicant’s enrollment in other state programs or about median household income in an applicant’s neighborhood to further streamline the application process
-Continuing to consider waiving the $10,000 limit on rent assistance, on a case-by-case basis, for households with extenuating circumstances.
