CVRRP Expanded Partner Network
The COVID-19 Rent Relief Program (CVRRP) was created to prevent evictions caused by the financial and health impacts of COVID-19. The program provides emergency rent assistance to households with incomes at or below 80% Area Median Income (AMI) in Multnomah County, with priority in serving Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities experiencing the greatest adverse impacts from COVID-19. The program is funded by City of Portland CARES Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF).
