The Maryland Department of Housing & Community Development (DHCD) is now accepting applications for its Assisted Housing Relief Program (AHRP), which serves rental units in multifamily projects financed by DHCD’s Community Development Administration.

Property managers will create one account for the company and then submit individual rent assistance requests for each property. Once all the tenants for a property have been added, using the information from the Tenant Worksheet, you can submit your application. Once an application is approved or denied you will be unable to make any additional changes to that entry.

DHCD will host a virtual Q&A to take feedback and address any questions or concerns that come up as properties begin using the portal on June 3 from 11 a.m. to noon ET. Please submit questions to dhcd.rentrelief@maryland.gov.
