COVID Rental Assistance and Relief
SAFHR Program Overview

WHAT IS SAFHR FOR RENTERS?

The State Assistance for Housing Relief (SAFHR) for Renters program provides rent and utility assistance for eligible Missouri residents who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eligible tenants can apply for financial assistance to be paid directly to their landlord or utility provider.  Financial assistance includes rent and utility arrears for the period beginning April 2020 and forward rent and prepaid fuel utility assistance (up to 3 months per application).  Utilities include gas, electric, water, sewage/waste water, fuel (propane, wood, etc.) and trash.  You may apply for utility assistance even if you are not applying for rental assistance.

Are you a landlord looking for assistance for your tenants?  Please see the SAFHR for Landlords portal.  For more information on the SAFHR program overall, visit our Public Dashboards Page.
