Rental + Utility Assistance

The Carl Maxey Center Rental Assistance Program is focused on assisting members of our community that have experienced income loss or other factors affecting their housing stability due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Carl Maxey Center provides rental assistance funding to African Americans and the BIPOC population in the greatest need.

Our Rental Assistance Application Portal is not open to the general public. 

 

We are accepting & reviewing applications on a case-by-case basis. A member of the rental assistance program team will contact you after your application has been submitted.

 

We have a high demand for rental assistance, we appreciate your patience as we work to respond to your application. Due to the high application volume, there is no guarantee of funding, and applications are reviewed until funding is exhausted.
