Landlords Struggling To Stay Afloat See Lifeline In COVID-19 Relief For Renters-NPR

Nearly 10 million Americans are behind on their rent payments, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And Stephanie Graves is seeing that play out first hand. She's a landlord in the Houston area and says tenants in most of her buildings are struggling. Graves really wants her tenants to be able to get help. Between the last two COVID-19 relief measures, Congress has approved upwards of $50 billion in rental assistance money. And that is just now starting to become available. Graves is going door to door telling tenants to come to the main offices at her properties, where she's set up computers to help people get the documents together that they need and to apply.
