Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) has reopened its Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) to provide short-term, rental, mortgage and utility assistance to Dallas County residents living outside the City of Dallas facing economic hardship in the wake of COVID-19. Assistance for EHAP 2021 is eligibility based and will be processed through a lottery system.
The pre-screening application form is available in both English and Spanish. Individuals who do not have access to the internet or are unable to access the pre-screening application online may call 214-819-1968. Pre-screening applications are accepted by phone Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Please note that submission of a pre-screening application does not guarantee eligibility or an offer of assistance. Only completed applications meeting eligibility requirements, and supported by required documentation, will be considered for assistance, based on the availability of funds. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older to apply.
