King County to stop accepting new applications for rental assistance program
King County rental assistance is running out. The county announced it would pause applications for help and said reopening the system for new applicants seems unlikely.
The county's Eviction Prevention and Rental Assistance Program (EPRAP) had a slow rollout. However, it has distributed $244 million in rental assistance and processed applications for 39,444 households since March of 2020.
Funds are running out with 11,245 households still assigned to a provider and 10,943 applications that have pre-registered and are waiting for assistance.
King County will not accept new applications through the EPRAP tenant portal after Feb. 28 at 11:59 p.m.
