Oklahoma Emergency Rental Assistance Care Provided by Community Partners
COVID-19 Renter Relief
Community Cares Partners (CCP), a program of Communities Foundation of Oklahoma, is making a difference in the lives of Oklahomans by providing assistance to individuals and families who are at risk of being evicted as a result of COVID-19’s impact on their ability to earn a living or their financial situation. CCP is a public-private partnership that helps our neighbors keep their housing stable by distributing monies from Oklahoma’s Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program. These funds were donated by the state of Oklahoma, the city of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, and Cleveland County. Our program is geared toward homes that are current on their rent payments. Homeowners are ineligible for assistance through ERA funds because of their status as property owners.
The goal of Community Cares Partners is to bring relief and hope to the people who live in our community.
